If you're looking to explore Rome's hippest area, then Stefano's apartment in Trastevere is where you want to be. The apartment itself is beautiful and beautifully appointed; everything you could need for a short stay. The location can't be beat. It's within blocks of multiple restaurants and piazzas which come alive at night with local residents. Staying here made us feel like we were locals and not tourists. However, for those of you needing a cab it's a 3 minute walk to the nearest cab stand.
And as for Stefano, he went out of his way to help us when it was discovered that I had left my backpack in a cab. Communication throughout our reservation was great and I would highly recommend staying at Stefano's for the ultimate Roman experience!
