Francesca is a wonderful host who is very friendly and helpful communicating on any and all matters whether it be related to the apartment or just general questions about Rome. The apartment is artfully and tastefully decorated with high quality mattresses and pillows that are very comfortable. It is also conveniently located near the metro which has stops at some major attractions like the Vatican Museum, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain (we would use the Lepanto stop which was a 5 minute walk from the apartment). There is a beautiful fountain on the first floor that has 3 turtles and 2 fish. The turtles will actually come out of the water and sit on the fountain which was a special treat! My 10 year old son especially enjoyed seeing and greeting the turtles each morning when heading out to start our day. I highly recommend staying here!
