Franco was super nice and very helpful throughout our stay. He looked at a map with us and pointed out places to go and how to get there by walking or public transit, which was very helpful. Only a 5 minute walk from Termini station, which was fantastic, as we had an early train to catch. Fairly close to major attractions, particularly the Colosseum--20-25min walk. Also a 10-15 min walk to the oldest ice cream shop in Italy, Fassi Gelateria, which Franco recommended to us...we went every day we were in Rome!! Great location and great host!
