Obsidian & Cream is a quietly stylish home located in the South West of Rome in the heart of Trastevere, renowned for its narrow streets and authentic Italian feel. Here, the city's busiest sights are left behind for charming backstreets, lined by cosy cafes and shops. You'll be able to stroll along the River Tiber, take a trip to the Basilica Di Santa Maria (a two-minute walk away), and come back to relax in this welcoming apartment all in an afternoon's escapades. With sleek bathrooms and two truly comfortable bedrooms as well as extra space on the sofa bed, this humble abode would suit a group of friends in Rome for a few days perfectly. While there may be lots of sights to tick off around the city, the home invites guests to unwind in pure comfort as the warm, earthy tones and rustic charm throughout, makes for a laid-back ambience worth writing home about. We particularly love dark wooden doors and beams that run across the ceilings – as well as the beautiful stone sink in the master bathroom. Trust us when we say, you won't want to leave the relaxed way of living here, let alone the feeling... of zen that flows freely around this apartment.

Host
This home is managed by Riccardo
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Riccardo and his team go a good job when it comes to bridging the gap between the professional and the personal. Their operation is super smooth, and they’re on call 24/7, but at the same time, they made us feel like part of the family, chatting, offering tips on where to go and what to see, and even keeping contact after we’d left.
