Instead of the very heart of Trastevere, Sky Queen is a little bit to the north. This is actually a fantastic location – you can avoid the hordes of revellers, and the Vatican is easy to reach, while the river is just at the end of the road. A quieter option in a lovely location, this home is perfect if you're looking for an authentic stay – with all the big attractions within a half-hour walk.
The double-height ceiling and the large windows make this place bright and breezy, which is surprisingly rare for this neighbourhood as the narrow streets and old buildings often conspire to keep sunlight away. There's a sense of history, with beamed ceilings, and a modern twist thanks to the mezzanine bedroom floor and the floating stairs. A comfy sofa takes the prime position in the open-plan living space, with a handy desk area and a contemporary kitchen tucked away under the mezzanine.
Home truths: *The bed is on a mezzanine level that's open to the living room below
*As is common in Trastevere, the building doesn't have a lift and the apartment's on the first floor
*The communal bins are kept at the bottom of the central staircase
*You'll have laptop-friendly workspace at the desk
*A cot is available on request
*The mezzanine area (bedroom and bathroom) has low ceilings so it could be uncomfortable for taller people
