We highly recommend this apartment, because of its central location, cleanliness, and wonderful airy space. Maria is very responsive, kind, and has done an exquisite job renovating the apartment. Everything is done nicely, from the wooden ceiling, tile work, floors, fully equipped kitchen with beautiful stove, artwork. My daughter and I felt very safe walking in Trastevere, there are usually people walking around until very late, and restaurants stay open late so it is a lively and happy neighborhood. The apartment is on the second floor, and the only door to get in is massive and super safe. One could literally stay within Trastevere for a whole week, and just wander around the cobblestone streets, stopping to eat and shop at countless restaurants and little shoppes. This neighborhood is awesome! Apartment is located only 2 minute walk to a pedestrian bridge, Ponte Sisto, which takes you to the beautiful Jewish ghetto. From there, just keep walking to Piazza Navona, Pantheon, and Trevi fountain. However, beware of the grocery store located on Via dei Pettinari right across from Ponte Sisto: one night, the owner yelled at my daughter in front of all the customers in line at the register, because she did not weight the bananas first!! It was humiliating to say the least. There are many other options to grocery shop, including the open air markets in Trastevere and Campo de Fiori. Also, every evening below Ponte Sisto, dozens of places to eat and shop open up along the river- one of the shops sells authentic beautiful jewelry and items made in Nepal and Tibet, the prices are very reasonable and the owner is the kindest person we met in Italy. At the Campo market, we bought a leather belt and several leather bracelets from the craftsman who sells leather goods, and his prices are also very fair for the high quality of the items he sells. He will even personalize items for people. We even went to Venice for one day during our stay: totally worth it, only 3 hours away by high speed train (check Viator). Minutes only from the Termini train station, we discovered the best Indian restaurant, New Delhi Indian Restaurant where we ate perfectly seasoned Indian fare and had the best service. The fact that we had this wonderful apartment to come home to every day after walking miles and miles, made all the difference. We would most definetly stay at Maria's apartment again, if we visit Rome again.
