In my experience, pictures on Airbnb sites look slightly or somewhat more lovely than the real place - even when they are great places to stay. In this case, the pictures were lovely but "in-person" the apartment and balcony/terrace was absolutely stunning, way more gorgeous than we expected. On our trip to Italy, we stayed in 3 places with terraces and Francesca's was the most wonderful by far! The terrace wraps around the entire apartment with shaded areas throughout the day. Even on a visit where temperatures soared to nearly 100, the shade and breeze made the area inviting and comfortable. Every view from the terrace is stunning, particularly when looking out toward St. Peter's Basilica. Both bedrooms have air conditioners for a cool night's sleep on very comfortable beds. Francesca was a fabulous host. She communicated regularly, arranged for a driver to the airport and was very friendly. I only wish we could have stayed longer. This place is within walking distance to the Vatican and easy to get a taxi to any place you want to go in Rome.
