Francesca's place is right in the middle of everything, and yet on a quiet safe little street- you wouldn't even know you are in the middle of Rome- except that there are ruins right outside the door!! The place was so fresh and clean when I arrived, and there were snacks, wine, and tons of guides available. It is it's own little hideaway. I loved returning to it each night after a long day of trekking around the city. It is perfect for a solo traveller like me, or a couple.
