Looking to trade the well-trodden tourist path for a more traditional Roman holiday? This home is in the heart of Trastevere, a charming neighbourhood known for its abundance of local restaurants and artisan shops – yet it's also within easy walking distance of city-centre sights like the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. The location somewhat makes up for the lack of space in this apartment – it'll certainly feel quite cosy with all four guests. However, all the basic amenities for a comfortable stay are here – and the compact kitchen might induce you to sample the local cuisine as much as possible.

Your host asks you to respect quiet hours between 10pm and 8am.
Be aware that this is a studio apartment, so privacy is limited.
