Francesca's house was the perfect location from which to explore Rome by foot. Tucked away in the back streets of Trastevere, it felt quiet and non-touristy, while still being close to the Roman Forum and walkable to the Vatican. The house itself was large and roomy for our family of four. Our two children each had their own comfortable twin bed in a pretty room, and they could also use a separate bathroom. We were grateful for air conditioning in two bedrooms in the midst of a very hot Roman summer. Francesca herself was so welcoming, leaving a pastry for us for our first breakfast and suggesting a simply amazing restaurant (Da Enzo) just down the street. We also loved eating in a restaurant just next door to her place. She also arranged reliable and competitively priced airport transportation to and from her place. We couldn't have been happier!
