Francesco was a really wonderful host—he did everything he possibly could to make my stay easy and comfortable. He was very friendly and accommodating about bag storage, and the door man in the building made check in very easy. His home is neat and clean and he offers fresh coffee and snacks for breakfast. His apartment is very close to several bus lines and only a few minutes walk from the Pyramide metro station. The neighborhood is quiet and feels far from tourism, and yet you're only a few blocks from Testaccio (which is very hip and full of good restaurants and coffee) and at night there are several nice bars and restaurants within a few blocks of the apartment. I'd highly recommend staying with him if you'd like a comfortable, relaxed experience of Rome!
