A wonderful stay in a wonderful city, in the pretty, quiet part of Trastevere but on the brink of where the life is: a perfect setting for a couple like us. A lovely kitchen, perfect for a stay that is a bit longer, a supermarket and everything you might need in 3 minutes: make your own haute cuisine menu every evening. With those products, it's easy..
The only thing that might need to be mentioned: it's a quiet little street, but just mention Via Alessandro Poerio to the taxi driver and you'll be fine: one of the most beautiful streets in Rome. Bus 75 stops there too: we found it simply wonderful that a mundane thing like waiting for a bus became such a beautiful thing: we did our waiting in front of the Colosseum..and that very bus took us right to a wonderful little source of peace and quiet which we could call our own. And if it's needed, you can just walk there from the other side of the Tevere; if you've been walking around all day, a nice walk home is no problem at all. :)
Going back to Fiumicino is very easy using the nearby Trastevere train station, although sometimes Italian transportation could be a bit moody simetimes.
Gabi was as good a host as she could be: very nice, explaining us everything we needed and there when we needed her. Our next trip to Rome (and it WILL be happening since we threw coins into the Trevi fountain - it was on the internet so it must be true!) we will be glad to stay there again.
All in all: if you want luxury in front of the Spanish steps, don't take this. If you want charm and the spirit of what Rome is really like: this is the place for you. You have all you need.
Until next time, Gabi! And thank you Francesco!
