We loved staying in Francesca's apartment. Even though we did not get to meet her, she was an excellent host - providing detailed and clear instructions for an easy self-check-in (and we were able to check in early), as well as tips on places to visit and dining options. Francesca's apartment was spacious, with all the facilities needed for a very comfortable stay - all cooking facilities, microwave, induction cook top, sandwich press, coffee maker - even an iron. And all in a very secure courtyard setting. It was just a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday night - to be expected when you are staying in this great location, with so many options for dining. Ear plugs did the trick for us. I will definitely stay at Francesca's if we return to Rome.
