I chose Francesca’s place because of the amazing location in the center of Rome and I was not disappointed. Within 3 minutes walk of Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. All main attraction in the city center within 30 minutes walk (including Vatican museum and Colosseo, Caracalla’s thermals at 40 minutes).
Contact with Francesca was amazing: she was kind and very helpful, always answering fast to my questions.
You can access the place thanks to a code at the door, but then you have a key so you can lock the place during your stay (I’m not found of places with code only when travelling without my husband and only with my daughter, or in this case my daughter and her best friend). It feels very secure.
The place itself is great and perfectly organized: small but very functional bathroom, including a towel heater.
A kitchen separated from the dining room, also very functional with everything necessary.
The 2 main rooms are perfect: a bedroom with enough storage space for a week (we were 3 girls travelling together for 1 week), and the dining room with a comfortable pullout couch.
The fact the living room is separate from the kitchen is perfect as we could really use it as a 2nd bedroom (not always the case) so it was very comfortable (I was travelling with 2 teenagers so we don’t necessarily keep the same hours, so we could move around without disturbing the other). The high ceiling and cheery colors really gave a sense of space.
The bedroom window open inside a small and quiet courtyard.
The living room window open on the piazza which is a busy restaurant area. The window do a great job limiting the noise, but if you are as sensitive to noise as I am, ear plugs can be useful. Nothing unusual for being located in the city center and no car traffic (or very very limited) in the area.
The bed and the pullout were both comfortable.
The place was spotless when we arrive. Confortable towels and bedding (fluffy duvet) provided.
Individual air conditioning in both room that can either provide cold or warm air.
We didn’t use it but a washing machine was available on the top floor with a great terrasse.
The place was really lovely and a great value for the space/location/ quality of accommodation.
It’s located on the 3rd/4th floor (depending on the way you are counting ;-)), and quite high floors so to be avoided if you have trouble with stairs. For everyone else, the place is perfect.
Francesca, thank you again for your warm welcome and help during our stay. We’ll be back!
