Staying in the apartment felt like we were living in Rome. We loved the neighborhood and could walk to many restaurants and shops. Although there is lots of nightlife in Trastevere, the apartment is on a more residential block and is very quiet. Going to see the sights (St. Peter's, the Colosseum) was often a 30 min walk. The only issue was the loft was hot (we visited in July) but someone came to fix the A/C as we were leaving. We highly recommend the apartment!
