Staying with Francesco was such a great experience! I stayed here when I had a 26 hour layover in Rome. The bus ride to and from the airport (FCO) was nice and short. I did get lost on the way there, but that was my own fault for not learning passable Italian before my trip - the bus driver didn’t speak English. Francesco was a super gracious host, very thoughtful, was incredibly helpful when I asked for assistance and gave me space when I slept for 12 hours after my flight. The apartment is gorgeous and frankly the value is greater than described. He gave great directions around the area, good recommendations for where to find a bank/ATM and food, and even walked me to the bus stop the morning I left with very thorough instructions on how to get to the airport. If I ever find myself in the area again I will definitely stay with him a second time! Highly recommend.
