Francesca met us at the door to her lovely apartment in Rome, just blocks from the Colosseum. The location was fabulous--easy walk to the Colosseum for touring and sunset views, a taxi stand even closer, very walkable to all central Rome sights, just what we wanted. We enjoyed the residential neighborhood after a day in the bustling city, with a breeze from the bedroom balcony, comfortable beds, nice shower/bathroom facilities--a perfect fit for two couples that also provided privacy. We appreciated Francesca's advice on taxis--from the airport, to tour locations, and to the train station. We also appreciated the bottled water in the fridge, biscuits, coffee, and the shower gel and hairdryer! Everything that we needed for a lovely visit. Thank you Francesca--we will recommend your place to all of our friends!
