By far the best place in Rome to stay and live amongst the locals. The food options were the best in Rome and far less expensive than touristy areas if you can stumble your way through the translator. Very few people spoke much English, but they were very friendly and made us feel at home. Your best bet if you are not staying in Trastevere is to take a cab and then wander around looking for non-English menus and where the locals are eating.
