Francesca's apartment on the Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere is lovely. The neighborhood has lots of restaurant, shops, and bars--it was great to walk around and we felt very safe. The first floor flat overlooks the piazza that attracts lots of people in the evening. There was a festival going on during part of our stay and in the evenings there were musicians and performers, but the festivities would end around 2300-23:30. Francesca was very prompt in replying to our emails. The air conditioning machine cooled the kitchen but as we were here in July we needed fans for the living room and the bedroom which Francesca quickly supplied and they provided relief from the heat. Her friend, Marco, who works at one of the restaurants next to the apartment, met us upon arrival right on time and showed us the flat and answered our questions. When using the elevator, make sure to close both doors otherwise it does not operate.
