I very much enjoyed my stay with Francesca's family! I lived there for four months while in school and it worked quite well for me. The apartment is in a beautiful building located in a gorgeous residential neighborhood. There are lots of restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby. Buses conveniently stop right in front of the building and the tram is just around the corner. It's a nice opportunity for foreigners to stay with a friendly, open-minded Italian family while in Rome!
