We brought six of our children on a pilgrimage to Rome and to visit their uncle who is studying at Gregorian University. We spent a lot of time looking for a family-friendly place that would be an ideal location in a reasonable price-range. Francesca's apartments are beautifully renovated in a convenient location. It's an easy jaunt to the bus stop and local small shops for necessities. A stroll over to St Peter's Basilica was an easy ten minutes even with our crew. We were greeted upon our arrival and our host helped us carry our luggage and settle in. He showed us around the place and also sat down with us to go over a map of the city. It was really helpful, what great hospitality!
If you're traveling with a family and expecting to do laundry, there's a washer and dryer on-site, but not in the apartment. I would have packed a little differently had I understood this, but it worked out fine. I've already recommended this place to friends who hope to travel to Rome.
