What a special place! Staying in the working neighborhood of Testaccio allowed us to be out of the tourist zones, to see family and regular life. Having the superb market only five minutes away was an unbelievable advantage. The pictures are very accurate and convey both the apartment's rustic and modern atmosphere - relaxed chic. It's a fantastic base - quiet, overlooking a simple pleasant courtyard, easy walk into Trastevere, to the Jewish ghetto along a busy though polluted road that borders the river. The minimalism can mean fewer conveniences - our three-week stay meant more cooking, juggling electricity; we didn't miss A/C since we weren't there in summer. Still, very simpatico!! It was a very happy stay.
