We had a wonderful stay at Francesco's apartment. Francesco was waiting to greet us when we arrived in the evening with two tired kids so check-in was very simple and fast. He showed us how everything worked in the apartment and how to use public transport and where to eat close by. He was very helpful and thoughtful. When he realised the previous guests had taken the batteries from one of the tv remotes (who does that?!) he replaced them really quickly. The apartment was much bigger than I was expecting with two large rooms both with big beds, spare pillows and blankets. The best thing was the kitchen - it was already stocked with milk, juice, yoghurt, cereal, eggs, bread etc and all included in the price!! This was amazingly helpful as we had arrived at night and it meant when the kids woke early in the morning we could feed them straight away. It was great!! There was a washing machine for clothes and a dishwasher and plenty of supplies like toilet paper. The apartment is clean and safe and close to a bus that goes near to Vatican City and to a tram that goes to the Colosseum - that said, for a family of four a taxi is almost as cheap and there is also a taxi rank a few blocks away. About a 15 min walk takes you to the top of a hill with a look out over the city. There are lots of restaurants close by. I highly recommend it.
