I can't recommend Francesca and her apartment enough! We arrived at the reception (which is a hotel reception between the restaurants), and they called her for us. She met us and brought us up to the apartment where she was happy to stay and answer every question about Rome that we had (which were many!). She was SO helpful and I can't thank her enough for all of her wonderful suggestions! Definitely visit Osteria la Quercia for dinner, it was AMAZING and maybe my favorite restaurant on our entire trip. She gives you an entire list of recommendations on your arrival (download WhatsApp so she can send them to you). I highly suggest using all of her recommendations, every one we went to was wonderful! Ginger for aperitifs/happy hour, was great! She made herself available to us at all hours and was more than happy to help me find particular things (like antique coin dealers), and even called to help us make reservations for the Vatican and Colosseum. Every question I had she was happy to answer, we felt like she was a friend! She speaks English very well, even if she doesn't think so haha and is very welcoming. She really made our trip to Rome special, I don't think it would have been the same had we not met her! Now as far as the apartment goes, I would be happy sitting on the rooftop terrace looking at that view for the rest of my life. Each night I sat out there with a glass of wine, people watching and just staring at one of my favorite buildings in Rome, the Pantheon. The location was incredible and very central to every location in Rome. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go (Vatican City, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Trastevere, etc), with no place being more than a 25-30 min easy walk. We never felt unsafe and it seemed like the streets were magical at night, all lit up with streetlights and cute restaurants. The apartment has actually been in her family for years, so it's well-lived in, but was clean and spacious. There could be a few cosmetic improvements (fresh coat of paint wouldn't hurt!) but none of those things really mattered to me so long as it was clean and the location was good (which both were!). It was actually charming that it is an apartment that remained in her family even after they made the rest of the building a hotel. The bed was very comfortable and there was a/c and wifi which was wonderful. The kitchen was well-equipped and the apartment would be comfortable for 4 people (one queen bed, two twins). It's on the top floor, but there is an elevator. You only have to climb the last short flight of steps to get the the apartment, which is no big deal. We hope to stay here again and highly recommend to anyone!
