Francesca's apartment is in the most perfect location possible in Rome. It's in Monti, which is a gorgeous artistic neighbourhood with local bars and no tourist traps, but at the same time sits right on the edge of The Forum, specifically Trajan's Market and the Forum of Augustus. You really couldn't be better placed for exploring the sites (Colloseum is about a 5-10 minute walk away) while avoiding crowds of tourists.
The apartment itself is adorable, pale pink and tastefully decorated. The bed is comfy and the shower and bathroom are really nice. Would be perfect whether you were staying for a long weekend like we were, or for a week of exploring the city.
We were late on our day of arrival due to our sleeper train arriving nearly 3 hours after schedule, but Francesca was very sweet and understanding. We'd certainly come and stay again in Francesca's apartment, there's lots more to see of Rome! We've recommended it to everyone we've spoken to so hopefully we'll be able to get a booking! Grazie!
