Francesco's apartment is located in a neighbourhood called Monti which is 10 minutes away from the colosseum. Here's a little tip, if you're arriving to his apartment by cab, please just show or say 'Via di Sant'Agata de Goti', our cab driver was furious at the mention of Colosseo which is further away from our destination. On our arrival, we met an associate of Francesco's who didn't speak English. This made it a little awkward in terms of explaining the facilities and asking a few necessary questions. Thankfully, there were some maps and printouts provided that answered few of those questions. The apartment is very centrally located with many restaurants and shops nearby and the house is as described in the pictures, very spacious and cozy. We booked this apartment knowing it had Air Conditioning because the heat in Rome can be treacherous, which brings me to my one and only complaint - the AC's were out of coolant and weren't cooling the rooms at all. This made our stay a little uncomfortable. But other than the heat, we loved our stay in Rome. I didn't get to meet Francesco but I hope he could keep those AC's working for his next guests, it can be a huge relief from the scorching heat.
