Francesca’s place is perfectly situated to explore Rome. We are enthusiastic walkers so walked everywhere, but it is about 10 minutes from the Vatican and 20 minutes into the centre of the city. We even walked to the Colosseum, which is completely the other end of the city, but still only took around 50-60 minutes down the river. Francesca was really helpful at check in and gave us lots of advice about the local area. The apartment was really clean and well maintained and Francesca left lovely little home touches (like delicious biscuits) which were really appreciated. It was nice to have a balcony to sit on in the evenings. The supermarket is 10 minutes walk away and is open 24 hours and there are a few nice restaurants, cafes and bakeries in the area. Overall, we had a great stay in Rome!
