I've been visiting Rome six times now, but Francesco's apartment was the best accommodation ever. It's spacious, clean, the beds are very comfortable, it's got two bathrooms (very convenient, as we were staying there with three adults and two kids), the balcony is nice... Furthermore: supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, etc. are just around the corner.
The Vatican is close to the apartment. If you don't want to walk to the centre of Rome: there's a busstop just across the street, which takes you a.o. to the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II and from there it's a short walk to Forum Romanum, Colosseum, etc.
Francesco is a great host. We arrived around midnight, but he took the time to show us the apartment and to tell us about Rome. He does speak English very well.
So, thank you Francesco, for everything!
