I absolutely LOVED this apartment! It was every bit as charming, comfortable and spacious as I could have hoped for... And Francesca, the host, was wonderful, helpful and genuinely interested in making sure my stay was going well.
Location was an important factor being that it was my first time in Rome and this apartment was perfectly central to all of the major sites. I also walk everywhere and rarely use public transit, and I was able to get to these places (Vatican City, Coliseum, Spanish Steps, etc.) within 25 minutes by foot. I would suggest you walk everywhere so you can see and explore all of Rome’s beautiful streets.
I highly recommend you stay at Francesca’s place. I know I will certainly be back!
