Our stay was an amazing experience! Flavio and Giovanna are very friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive. It's a pleasure staying with calm and intelligent hosts, who care about small details like leaving a candle out for you in case you're coming back late and it's dark in the hall. In fact our stay was full of such nice details like a coffee machine with tasty coffee capsules in the room and an a tea candle lantern on the terrace.
By the way, the terrace is a beautiful place for breakfast. Cozy and overlooking the green terraces of neighbouring buildings. Also - don't skip the fresh fruit and vegetable market on piazza San Cosimato, just steps away, with yummy strawberries and cherries in May.
Trastevere is a great neighbourhood to live in. It's a short pleasant walk to the main attractions and sights, also very comfortable to reach by pubic transport (tram or bus). If you don't feel like going out too far for dinner or a snack, Trastevere has numerous restaurants and pizzerias from gourmet to simple, an array of bars - don't miss the Bar San Calisto. It's the simplest and most local bar that makes you feel at home and local wherever you come from. In fact in terms of bar-hopping or going out in the evening, Trastevere is even livelier than the other side of the Tiber. And if you feel like taking a day off - you can always explore the parks just a few blocks away.
Flavio's apartment is a great choice for a couple looking to explore Rome and get a sense of living as a local. But if you're tired and overwhelmed by all the sightseeing, this place offers a quiet escape to relax and unwind. And when you’re there, please don’t forget to send our love to Lea the puppy!
