Rita & Fabio’s place was perfect for us. If you don’t mind a walk up the 4 story staircase, you will not find a better location. The apartment itself is small, cozy, quiet and very well equipped with a very comfortable bed and window shutters that will let you completely block out sun light if so desired. The extra touches - like picking us up from the airport and a full refrigerator, wine upon arrival - made it a really great experience. Rita was always prompt in answering any questions. I would book it again without hesitation.
The location itself is within a couple of hundred feet of a small but useful grocery store, a very good coffee bar and a gelateria. The street it is on has a fair amount of foot traffic since it is right at Ponte Sisto which many Romans use to get to Trastevere. The Regola area has become my favorite area to stay with plenty for anyone to do, no matter what your interests - we spent a couple of days just exploring this area. It really is a quite pleasant neighborhood. There are many restaurants, bars, bakeries, shopping areas and places of historical, architectural and artistic interest nearby (the rear of Palazzo Spada can be seen from the window). Many of the popular tourist attractions are within walking distance. If you want a more “authentic” Rome experience without giving up easy access to popular attractions, book this place.
Thank you Rita & Fabio!
