We had a great stay with Franco. He met us in front of the apartment on time with a bottle of wine. Although he does not speak english, he managed to give us a lot of tips regarding rome and eating out options. His apartment looks exactly like the once on his page, it was equipped with all the necessary utensils. The apartment is an old stable with lots of character. It is next to a very busy street on the ground floor but walking distance from the colosseum, roman forum and metro station. We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. Franco is a great host and we will definitely recommend his apartment to anyone planning to visit rome!!
