I cannot recommend renting this flat enough. Besides being beautiful and full of gorgeous art work, it really is in the heart of Trastevere and although we didn't know this when we booked, it is probably the reason why our stay was so magical. Trastevere is a delightful old quarter with tiny (mostly) pedestrian streets with few shops but many lovely bars and restaurant. We had all our meals there, as prices in central Rome are prohibitive and it was just a pleasure to go home to the flat after a busy day, recharge the batteries for a short while and then go down for a cheap but very delicious meal. Everyone in the neighbourhood was so happy and friendly and we felt very safe and part of the "village". Central Rome with all the monuments is very near and easy to walk to. We loved the charm of Trastevere and of Rome in general and really fell in love with the place. Fabia was a wonderful host and stayed in touch for tips and rain checks throughout. We hope to come back!
