I enjoyed my stay in this apartment, I stayed there with my cousin for a week. The location of the place is perfect - it is centrally located between pretty much all the main tourist attractions. There is an amazing bakery underneath the apartment that has probably the best pizza I've every had in my life.

Francesca was a wonderful host. She was very prompt, there was great communication, and she went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. For example, she booked a taxi for us to get to the airport, offered to book dinner reservations if we desired, provided us with a bottle of wine, and even wrapped the towels in these romantic, cute red bows - unfortunately, my cousin and I obviously didn't appreciate it as much as a couple would have, even so, I thought it was a nice gesture.

As for the apartment, it is a nice 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom place. I'd say that for a couple or small family it would be perfect. There are a few elements that one could describe as quirky, but nothing really negative - a couple other reviewers pointed some of these elements out. I'd say the main negative was the motorbikes and Vespas that go by the window during the evening (it is a 3rd floor apartment, but you can still hear the bikes below). However, I don't think that is something one could avoid really anywhere in similar areas in Rome - after all, the apartment is on a small street, almost an alley.

Overall, 5 stars. The small quirks and evening noise was more than made up by Francesca and the competitive price.
