Francesca's apartment is in a wonderful location in Rome, just a block from the Tiber river and across the street from the Jewish museum. The former Jewish ghetto has delicious restaurants that are open late in the evening, and yet the street feels safe and is quiet for a good night's sleep. Her apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Good sized bathroom with warm shower, air-conditioning, a small but functional kitchen and refrigerator, washing machine, and beautiful patio area with space to hang clothes to dry. Francesca arranged for an associate, Manfredi, to greet us at the apartment upon our arrival. Manfredi and his friend were lovely and helpful, showing us some good restaurants nearby, plus how to find the pharmacy, ATM, and grocery store if needed.
A few great places to each with in 5 minutes walk of the apartment:
- Roscioli patisserie/cafe for coffee, pastries, and panini
- Roscioli Antico Forno for deli lunches, pizza or bread,
- Alice Pizza
- Nonna Betta for anything with Jewish-style artichokes
- Gunther, Crem, or Fatamorgana for gelato
Francesca and Manfredi were quick to reply should any questions or concerns arise. Her apartment is a great value and in close walking distance to many places of interest. For instance:
- Campo de Fiori (5 mins walk)
- Trastevere (5 mins walk across the river)
- Pantheon (10 mins walk)
- Piazza Navona (10 mins walk)
