Francesca's apartment was adorable and in a fantastic location. We easily traveled from the train station, to the metro, to major sites. The neighborhood is technically Monti, I believe, but the immediate vicinity is more touristy/high end than young and edgy. But I'm not complaining! The street had a slew of great retail, gelato, and grocery options right at our fingertips. Even though it was close to everything, I really appreciated that the neighborhood was relatively quiet and not the center of the party (like our friends in Piazza Navona!).

The space was great for two people, one of us took the sofa (very comfy) and the other the bed, and we found the space to be a great fit for our needs. The little balcony made for a lovely breakfast spot and down time getaway and gave us a lovely view over Monti. We appreciated that the kitchen was appointed with basic utensils and ingredients, but we did have a bit of trouble getting the stove to light (the lighter that was left was empty and we had to buy a new one to get the burners lit) and the washing machine. Another random supply note- both my mother and I found it very odd that only a single, not even full, roll of toilet paper was left in the house. When we emailed to ask about this, Francesca told us it was intentional, so back to the store to pick up TP!

Francesca was really fantastic in helping me arrange a taxi to take my mother to and from the airport and I really appreciated her making our trip more seamless by taking care of these extra pieces for us.

Last note, the building hosts residents, AirBNBers, and hotel guests all in one space and all sharing the same elevator. The hotel guests often don't mind the signs about closing the elevator gates, so be prepared to walk the 5 flights up or down on occasion!
