I definitely enjoyed my stay at Francesco's home. He is a very welcoming and pleasant host. I really appreciated that he didn't mind my late arrival and waited to show me the studio. The studio is cozy and has everything you might need for the stay. I loved the house and especially the garden- made it feel very "italian-like". I expected a bit more of the neighborhood, but it didn't bother me. seems like all the places in Rome, which are not the very center look the same. All in all I have only positive memories of my stay in the studio.
