Me and my girlfriend stayed at Francesca's apartment while we were in Rome. Francesca waited for us when we arrived and gave us some pointers and maps, very handy. The apartment is situated few minutes walk from the Forum and Colosseum (as well as the Colosseum metro). There are plenty of restaurants, bars and gelateria around the area. The apartment is super secure, very cozy, comfortable bed and all you need to get going in Rome. We were there when it wasn't that hot in spring and not that cold either, but if it gets extreme, there is an air conditioner and heaters in place. Very comfortable stay for the 3-4 days that we were there. Thanks Francesca!
