Franco was very kind and welcoming, and his warning about pick-pockets was much appreciated. The apartment was clean and nice, and it is very easy to walk to the Colosseum and other places around there. Also not too far from the metro, which we picked up to go to the Vatican. At night you hear quite a bit of street traffic, which is expected, so if that's something that bothers you, just bring a white noise machine and/or earplugs--worked well for me.
