Michele is an absolutely delightful host with quick communication and fantastic local tips about his neighbourhood Trastevere. The place was even larger and more gorgeous in person, with an awesome fully equipped kitchen (we love cooking), a powerful shower, and soft beds with many types of pillows to choose from.
Location:
Trastevere is a bustling and youthful neighbourhood and Michele's place is situated in the heart of it, which makes for easy exploration of the local bars and many restaurants. It's located right beside the local market, many delis/cheese shops, bakeries, and grocery stores for easy grocery shopping.
It was a lovely 15-20 minute gorgeous walk over the bridge, and into the busier part of Rome, and around 25-30min walk to the super busy tourist locations. We loved being in Trastevere, it was away from the insanity of the tourist packed locations, but still easy to get to via walking, transit, or taxi.
Sleep:
If you're sensitive to noise when you sleep, Michele recommended sleeping in the room closer to patio, so we took his advice after the first night. We also sleep with the windows open (it was January and we like cool air) so it may not be a problem for you if you simply shut the windows.
This was a stellar home and location and we recommend it to anyone. We'll be back to visit and stay in his home again 100%
