We spent a week at Barbara's place. The location is not central, but it is 3 minutes away from the stop of tram 8, that you get to Piazza Venezia for 15 min with. The surraunding is quiet and nice, with a lot of trees and birds singing in the morning. The room is very clean, the bed - enourmous and very comfortable. Barbara was very supportive and although she was not in Rome at that time, she arranged a person to wait for us for check-in at 9 am as our flight was very early and on Sunday. This quarter of Rome (Trastevere) is known with a lot of restaurants and small beautiful streets, where you can discover the real spirit of Rome, apart from the touristic sightseeings. The only problem of the room was, that the walls are too thin and you can hear every moovement of the other tenants in the morning. But I think that all other advantages make up for that little inconvenience. I would definitely get back to Barbara's place by my next visit to Rome.
