I stayed almost two months in Francesco`s apartment and I really had a great time there. The apartment is close to a mainly young and lively neighbouhood as the university is not far away but the apartment itself is in a quiet part of San Lorenzo. Everything you need ist not far away, i.e. within walking distance. The apartment is very clean, bright and tasteful as described. Francesco is a nice, gentle, frienly and uncomplicated host who helps whenever he can. His English is excellent, which is helpful in some situations. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy-going and you feel welcomed and like being at home. Sometimes I was invited to share a glass of wine with them (Francesco, Michele our room-mate and Ilaria, Francesco’s “girl-friend”) and one night even to a meal. The last weekend in Rome I invited them out to dinner and we had a wonderful evening. Finally they took me to Fiumicino airport when I had to leave.
On the whole, the place is excellent for a stay in Rome and I can strongly recommend it. I had a wonderful time there and I would return at any time for another stay in Rome.
