Our stay in Cecilia's apartment was outstanding! It's a very old building, and getting up and down the very tight stairs takes a little care, but the historical feel and charm fully outweigh some tight stairs. The Trastevere area is very loud and lively, but you can't hear anything from the apartment, but step outside and you'll be in the middle of a great time. The trash from the prior nights revelry litters the cobblestone streets every morning, but the sanitation folks get it cleaned up pretty early every day. Overall a fantastic spot to people watch and launch day trips from.
