I’ve been staying in Rome now for about a month at different Airbnb’s throughout the city.
First let me say Franco’s place is in an amazing location. It’s a quick walk to anywhere you would want to be. And if you don’t feel like walking the train stop is right out front. There’s a snack bar downstairs, for coffee or sandwiches. A place for Ramen and pizza right next to that. There is even a barber (Dino) in walking distance in case you need to get your hair cut while on a prolonged vacation.
Franco gives you that real feeling of Italian hospitality. He was there when I checked in to give me the keys and the door to his apartment is steps away from your door. He always makes you feel welcome to ask for any thing at any time. He even tried helping me look for a more permanent apartment while staying in Rome.
The apartment itself is spacious, with two full bathrooms. And the views from the windows were amazing to me. It felt like real Rome. You see and hear kids playing in the back... you see people looking out of their windows in other buildings. It was so charming. Trastevere is an amazing neighborhood and i wish I could have lived here permanently.
Franco and his family are amazing and this apartment is worth every penny.
