Francesca's place is wonderful. It is just far enough outside of the heart of Rome that you get an authentic feel, but easy enough to get to all the sites in under 20 minutes. Although I never met Francesca, her mother was there to check me in and gave great recommendations. The room itself is very comfortable and Francesca was always available for any questions I had. Highly recommend staying here if you are a solo traveler or as a couple.
