Francesco's apartment was lovely and just as advertised. Clean, modern and right in the center of all the historical wonder of Rome. It's a block from countless restaurants, bakeries, bars, gelaterias and of course, ancient ruins.
You won't need a car for any reason here, or even public transportation. We reached everything we could fit in during a week of touring by foot. And the shiny new AC was a welcome respite every time we came back to the apartment from a long walk.
