Francesco's friend met us on arrival and oriented us to the apartment. He was friendly but spoke very little English so we could not get any information on the area surrounding the apartment.
The entire apartment was furnished exclusively Airbnb guests. The space was good enough for my family of four with comfortable beds and air conditioning. However, I was disappointed not to find toilet rolls, tissue boxes or floor mats in the bathrooms. Hot and cold water in the taps and shower could not be regulated.
Location was great and within close proximity to the Vatican, bus and metro station. Taxis were easily available in front of the building and this greatly facilitated our travels around Rome.
