My sister and I stayed for two nights in Frederico's apartment in Trastevere. Frederico was out of town but another man, Sharif, met my sister and I helped us with our bags into the gorgeous apartment. There we had found helpful information for us (places to eat and stay, phone numbers, maps) as well as juice and some food. The neighborhood itself is absolutely lovely! Walking from Trastevere into Rome proper is a great way to get a feel of the neighborhood. The best meal we had in Rome was at a place in Trastevere. Wonderful apartment to stay in if you are looking for a more authentic experience in Italy.
