Staying at Francesco's apartment was a great experience for my wife and I, this was the second stop of our 10th anniversary trip and it was memorable. Francesco always responded quickly to any of our messages, we were greeted by his mother, she was so nice, and so helpful, it was a pleasure meeting her.
The apartment itself is located in a beautiful tree lined street in a very nice residential neighborhood. It is located very close to old Roma but it's seems like you're hours away from the city. I loved the design of the apartment, the extremely high ceilings and the decor was eclectic, we loved everything about it. The pictures on his site do not do it justice, the apartment is truly amazing and it was impeccably clean. The apartment had everything you would need, full kitchen, washer/dryer, fast wifi, they even provided coffee, tea and treats that I took full advantage.
The bust stop is a 5 minute walk, there were plenty of small cafes and bakeries nearby as well as markets. You're about 20 minutes out by bus from Roma, but it's well worth it to stay here. I highly recommend Francesco's apartment.
