I stayed one month in Anna’s apartment and it was exactly what I was looking for. A comfortable apartment in an area not overrun with tourists. Anna was super helpful and responded quickly to any request. The apartment has everything you need as well as a good vibe. Residents of the apartment block would greet me everyday as they sat chatting in the courtyard. The highlight for me was the proximity of Testaccio market - the best food I had in Rome and it was fun getting to know the vendors. The apartment is close to Trastevere but a little far from the centre. Because of the heat sometimes I caught the bus home. But I can’t have ‘local’ as well as ‘close to the centre’.
