Great location, great host, great value.
Spent a wonderful two nights in Francesco’s place. Aside from the home he shared with us, there was his attention to things that matter most.
We had issues with a cab that dropped off my mother in law from the airport, for example. The driver only speaking Italian, tried to take advantage of an unassuming traveler. Francesco stepped right up timely and without hesitation to help resolve the matter.
The place itself is located within footsteps of great little local restaurants and bars full of young people and families, as well as some of the iconic structures in the city. We did not come across another tourist during our stay in Trastevere. It was an authentic Italian experience for us.
Trastevere itself, dressed with all of its graffiti art and tight corridors, was as safe as one could possibly imagine. And of course, full of life.
