In a little old palazzo in the heart of Trastevere, Soft Pastelli is a sweet apartment - not massive but plenty of room for what it is. The walls are painted in lovely pastels, giving it an old-fashioned (in the best way) feel and each bedroom also has an en-suite, so there’ll be no waiting for the shower. The only real issue with Soft Pastelli is the lack of natural light, which is a very common problem in the neighbourhood due to the old buildings and narrow alleyways.

Home truths
There isn't a real dining table in the apartment, just a counter along a wall.
When we checked, the kitchen wasn't particularly well stocked.
While it's only on the first floor, there's no lift in the building.
There isn't a lot of natural light, particularly during bad weather.
Guests six and seven will be on a sofa bed in the living room.
Expect to hear some noise from the second bedroom's A/C.
It's worth noting that the mattresses here are on the firmer side, so not everyone might find them comfortable.
The water pressure here isn't the strongest.
Given the home's spot in a lively area, expect to hear some late-night noise from nearby restaurants and bars throughout your stay, particularly on weekends.
