Francesca's apartment is lovely and was perfect for our family of five. It was very nice that she was so flexible in meeting us late in the evening when our flight arrived in Rome. It happened to be my daughter's 22nd birthday and we asked Alex (person who welcomed us to the apartment) for suggestions to grab a bite to eat and where to have breakfast in the morning. Alex got us a table at a restaurant steps from the apartment and we enjoyed pizza and wine. He also introduced us to a bakery and coffee shop where we received free cannolis and discount coupons for breakfast the next morning.

Francesca arranged for transportation from the airport to the apartment and the apartment to the port. The apartment is very clean, beautifully decorated, quiet, and very well located (we walked to all of the Rome sites) It was nice to have the ability to do laundry before we started our cruise and to have an elevator for our luggage.
