We had a fantastic time at Ilaria's. We've been to Rome a few times, and I now think Trastevere is the very best place to stay. It is close enough to walk to all the main attractions, but still feels a bit like a 'local' area. There are lots of bars and cafés and restaurants all over Trastevere. Ilaria's apartment is one lane back from the really crowded ones, so it isn't too noisy. And Ilaria is a perfect host. She is always available on email and quick to answer any questions before and during our stay. The apartment is perfect - it feels like Rome. I am an Airbnb host in Sydney and it has been interesting to be on the other side of the equation - I might have to try a bit harder to be as good as Ilaria. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Rome, stop looking. Just book this one now.
