Francesco was a great host, very friendly and offered lots of advice and restaurant tips. The apartment was exactly as described - very clean and really spacious - ideal for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The street is very busy but the double glazing does a good job in blocking the street noise! Travestere is a great area to stay - lovely atmosphere, away from the tourist areas and with an abundance of places to eat and drink. The bar just on the corner of the street 'Big Star' was great for a pre dinner drink and also for pastries and coffee in the morning. A fantastic bakery just over the road was also great for breakfast. We did all the main sites in Rome - recommend Walking Tours of Italy for the brilliant Underground Colesseum Tour. In Travestere the botanical gardens are well worth a visit for a beautiful and peaceful haven and climb to Janiculum Hill for a superb view of the city. We would definitely stay in Francesco's apartment again and won't hesitate to recommend it to family and friends. Our first Airbnb experience and such a good on Earth!
