Our family of 5 stayed a week at Francesco’s flat. We really love this place and Francesco is indeed a super host. The flat is so conveniently located. Colosseum is only a few minutes away. The bus stop is right around the corner. The metro stop is right by the Colosseum.
The most memorable moments for me were the morning jogs out of the flat, going around Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palentan Hill, Circo Massimo, Tiber River, Vatican, and it truly felt magical.
My wife really liked the small Carrefour supermarket couple of minutes walk away. The food there is good, fresh and reasonably priced. We truly took advantage of the nice kitchen of the flat and it felt very homey.
Rome has many nice restaurants but you can find some very decent ones right within walking distance. Definitely should check out this one: Naumachia Ristorante. We ate there twice and were really impressed.
Another favor Francesco did for me was to help me seeing a Serie A soccer game. I have been a fan of Italian soccer for more than 30 years. The week we visited happened to be the opening week of Serie A season. Francesco helped me finding out the store that sold game tickets. So for one night I took my two older girls to see Lazio vs Napoli. It was really a dream come true.
Thank you, Francesco! We definitely will come to you next time we visit Rome.
