We stayed at Francesca's apartment for 4 days in early August. When we arrived, she took the time to show us around the apartment, go over maps with us, and make sure we had everything we needed to have a good stay. The bottle of wine was much appreciated as well!
The location of the apartment is amazing. You are literally across the street from Trajen's Forum and a 5 minute walk away from the Coliseum and Piazza Venezia. We walked to every location we wanted to, never more than about 30 minutes away. There's a lot of great restaurants close by as well.
The apartment itself was very nice. Well-stocked with necessities, maps and snacks. We were staying while the Olympics were on, and it was nice to come home after a long day and watch some Olympics.
Francesca also helped arrange a taxi for us to the airport when we left. A great price for the taxi, and it was nice that we didn't have to try to arrange it.
I highly recommend staying with Francesca while in Rome. It was one of the best parts of our trip!
