Mr Franco's place is unbelievably gorgeous. As he will hopefully tell you, it is a place with a lot of history and charm, and yet modern and with all accommodations you can expect. You may think that the location right next to a busy street may be a problem, but we thought that the noise was drowned enough to have a very good night sleep, even with my wife's very light sleep.
Mr Franco himself is an amazing person. He's full of energy and brilliant tips for you in Italy, and he's a natural host, very attentive and supportive of your needs. Highly recommended!
The location is also very important because even though it is very very close to two of the most visited attractions in Rome - literally a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum -, it is very quiet and safe. Never felt any of the tourist rush and caveats of such a busy city such as Rome.
