When looking for an authentic modern-day experience in Rome, I can't imagine it gets any better than Michele's apartment in Trastevere. Just steps away from the front door are winding streets lined with restaurants and bars, squares surrounded by cafes and shops - and full of friendly locals. Inside the apartment are two incredibly comfortable beds, a spacious living room, lovely private patio, fully equipped kitchen, and nicely updated bathrooms. The space is bright and airy, easily accessible, and the perfect retreat after wandering the city. The street-facing side does get a bit noisy at night in the weekends, but that comes with the territory when you're in the heart of one of the coolest neighborhoods in Rome. Can't recommend strongly enough - already daydreaming about my next visit.
