From the Campo de' Fiori take Via Giubbonari to via dell' Arco del Monte, take a right. Follow this street across the Ponte Sisto to Piazza Trilussa. In Piazza Trilussa take a left onto Via del Moro. Follow Via del Moro to Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere (you will see the church on your right). From Piazza Sta. Maria in Trastevere take Via San Cosimato to Piazza San Cosimato. There will be market stalls, a playground and likely ragazzi playing calcio. Follow Via Agostino Bertani to Via Goffredo Mameli. Take a left on Mameli and continue down the street until you get to number 51.

If Trastevere is unfamiliar to you, it's probably a good idea to use a map when following these directions because the streets tend to change names. If you get lost, feel free to call me.
