We had a great couple of days in Francesco's appartment. It was exactly as we expected from reading other reviews: clean, well equipped and supplies in the fridge and breakfast cereals (which is really a high degree of service). Francesco himself is a nice guy who was easy to contact, fast to respond, and full of tips about sights in the ancient part of Rome and Trastevere. Public transport from his place to the city centre/ Forum Romanum was pretty good and took approximately 30 minutes. To the Vatican was bit more difficult but still doable.
