Where you stay can make or break your trip and we were so happy that Melissa's place exceeded our expectations! It is a beautiful apartment, recently renovated, in a 1700's building, just a stone's throw from the river and St. Peter's Square. The apartment is in a tiny street and is very quiet. The bed is extra comfy, the living room spacious and the kitchen so well equipped you could easily just cook at home every day. But that won't be necessary, as there are tons of restaurants nearby. Melissa gave us very good recommendations for where to eat and we also booked the Trastevere food tour with Carpe Diem, a company she suggested, which was one of the coolest things we did in Rome. She also organised our transfers and overall made our trip extremely easy. You can easily walk almost everywhere from the apartment, but we also found helpful the bikes and scooters one can rent from the street. I cannot recommend Melissa's apartment enough. I wish there were more like it in other cities!
