The incredible sights of Rome were greatly enhanced by our wonderful experience at Francesca E Bruno's modern, comfortable and well-equipped flat, located in what has to be the best neighborhood in the city. But the hospitality started well before we arrived. Bruno was easy to contact, answered all our questions and arranged for transportation from the airport for our daughter, who was scheduled to arrive before us. Then, he arranged for transportation for the rest of our family the next day, leaving us to enjoy our arrival and not worry about picking the wrong cab! We arrived at the apartment and everything was perfect--so perfect that we had plenty of time to go out that afternoon and see some sights. The kitchen is well appointed, we LOVED the eat-in counter, the living room was perfect for evening relaxing, and the beds and bathrooms suited us all so well. The neighborhood is fantastic! The best non-touristy restaurants are here, around the corner from the apartment is an open air market every day with fresh produce and fish, and in the evenings there was entertainment in a nearby plaza! We didn't have to walk very far to eat well, be entertained or see some unbelievable ancient sites as well as one of the best views of Rome. In spite of all this activity, the apartment is so quiet at night. In fact, we visited in June but never turned on the AC--just opened the windows for the beautiful breeze that blows in and we were fine. I can't thank our hosts enough for treating us so well in advance of our visit, and I can't think of a better place to stay in Rome. We had our adult children with us, and all of us had everything we needed for an unforgettable visit. The apartment was spotless, beautiful and so comfortable after a long day of walking. The washer and dryer worked perfectly and were convenient. And there is an elevator in the building, so no long walk up the stairs when you are so tired. Thank you Francesca and Bruno for your wonderful hospitality and our stay in your fabulous apartment!
