We loved staying at Laura's place in Trastavere! Laura was very welcoming- she let us store our bags in the room even though it wasn't ready yet, which we really appreciated. She also gave us a little tour of the neighborhood and some recommendations which was really nice. We LOVED the neighborhood.. cobblestone streets and very lively yet small feel, walkable to all tourist spots but not right in middle of it. Laura kept in good contact and tried to solve any issues we had. It was also really nice to be able to do laundry after backpacking.
Unfortunately I got sick while here and didn't get to enjoy the food and nightlife as much as I would've liked to.. but I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rome!
