Francesca's apartment is a beautiful jewel of a place in the lively neighborhood of Trastevere, and she is an excellent host. The Bookshelf is gorgeously decorated and had plenty of space for our family of five. It is located in a secure building, has two full bathrooms, a spacious bedroom and another sleeping area that could accommodate our three grown children. The apartment is air conditioned, which we appreciated because Rome was very hot in June. The apartment is in a very active neighborhood, so a little noisy at night but close to restaurants, bars, bakeries, banks, taxis and everything we needed. It's outside central Rome, so a 30-minute walk to the Vatican, Coliseum and other main attractions--or a bus or cab ride. Metro doesn't serve the area from what we could tell. We were traveling from the U.S., so we really appreciated Francesca's great communication--she was able to respond immediately to our questions.Her property manager, Mr. Bing, was on site to meet us when we arrived and he showed us the apartment and provided tips on how to get around town.Francesca kindly arranged transport for us to the airport when we left, which was a HUGE help because we had an early flight and were nervous about getting there. We stayed at four different AirBnBs in Italy and Francesca's was our favorite! Highly, highly recommend.
