Staying at Francesco’s house was a great decision. The house is recently renovated and modern. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and clean. I stayed here for 3 months and had little to no complaints. The location is close to all the tourist attractions and the metro A line. At the same time it is slightly off the beaten path, so it’s much less chaotic than living directly next to Vatican City or centro storico (e.g. around piazza navona, trevi fountain, pantheon). My only complaint is that it is right above a bar that is frequented by loud foreigners. However, I used foam ear plugs and it cancelled out all the noise easily, so I wouldn’t let it dissuade you. Just a heads up to bring a pair before you leave for your trip. This is coming from a light sleeper. Also the bar staff is super kind if you call down about any noise issues.
The best part of this place is Francesco. He was very attentive, and each month he offered to have my room cleaned and restock bath towels. The common area of the apartment was cleaned weekly and the coffee supplies were restocked. If I needed more dish soap or laundry pods, he always restocked for me.
When I found this place, I was originally interested in the smaller room. I asked him to hold the place for a week so I could confirm my trip. The room accidentally was booked in that time, so he offered me this room (the bigger one) for $100/month less than the price of the smaller room. I found that to be extremely kind and generous. I mention this just to demonstrate his professionalism and customer service.
In short, this place is an A+ and Francesco is an A+++.
