I took my son to Rome for his 18th birthday, so we needed two separate bedrooms with large beds and individual bathrooms. We also prefer absolute silence at night (something that is difficult to find in Rome). We have 11 nights, so it has to be at a reasonable price.
With these requirements in mind, I searched Airbnb for a long time to find such a place, without much luck, until I saw Francesca's apartment pictures. The actual apartment is much better than the pictures show, with two separate bathrooms, each with showers and a bide, two bedrooms with large and comfortable beds, and a very nice living room. Best of all: it was above a quiet cul-de-sac (dead end street without any traffic) in the middle of Rome. The Jewish ghetto is a 3 minute walk, as is Campo de Fiore. Piazza Navona is a 5 minute walk, and the Pantheon is about 8 minutes away. Piazza Venezia is about 8-10 minute walk, too. The Vatican is 15 minutes away. It's the absolute perfect location to explore central Rome on foot.
A few words about the owner, Francesca. She is one of the most thoughtful hostesses I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with (and I've travelled extensively, using Airbnb). Francesca arranged for all of our aiport transportation ahead of time (my son and I arrived on different days, and the price was very reasonable). She also left a self-explanatory booklet for us, as well as the keys, so we did not have to bother her too much. When we had a question about heat (how to turn it on), she responded immediately. Very prompt and helpful lady.
Last, but not least, a few words about the price. We stayed in Francesca's place for 11 days, and the cost was very reasonable (especially after the weekly discount). In fact, it is far less than other apartment owners were charging and about 1/3 of what the local hotels wanted. In other words, it was a great price for the value we received.
In conclusion, the next time I will be in Rome, I hope to reserve Francesca's apartment again (if it's available). I strongly recommend this gem in the center of Rome, without any reservations.
