Where to begin about Armanda’s little treasure in Trastevere? If I’m honest, I’m reluctant to even write about how much we loved her place, I want to keep this secret all to ourselves = ]
Armanda’s Three-level Apartment in the Heart of Trastevere is exactly as described. Perfectly situated on the quiet side of the neighborhood, it’s steps away from dozens caffès, bars, osterias, and ristorantes.
Once we arrived, Armanda excitedly walked us through all the amenities of her home, complete with an indispensable binder of collected maps, shopping suggestions, and walking tour recommendations, which we referred to daily since all the historic sites were an easy walk (or cab ride) away.
The apartment was **immaculate**. The beds were supremely comfy. The kitchen was fully stocked with a little coffee maker for your morning latte, as well as pots, pans, and tools in case you were inspired to try making cacio e pepe on your own (don’t bother, every restaurant’s is better than the last).
Armanda’s pride in her neighborhood and her home was abundantly clear. She was the consummate hostess and as warm and inviting as Rome itself. The next time we visit, there’s no question where we’ll stay - Armanda’s place.
