My boyfriend and I spent a week at Francesca's flat, and felt at home as soon as we arrived. It looks exactly the same as it is portrayed in the pictures, and is bright and so full of character. The location of the flat is amazing, only a few minutes walk to the Vatican and Castel Sant' Angelo, and we were also able to walk with relative ease all around the city. However, if you prefer to use public transport to get around, the flat is also very close to Ottaviano Metro station.
Although we did not meet Francesca, she was a great host. She was working on the day of our arrival, so she arranged for a colleague of hers to come and meet us at the flat, give us the keys and a map of Rome, along with some great recommendations for activities and places to shop/eat. Prior to our visit, Francesca also emailed me a list of a few of her personal favourite restaurants, bakeries, markets and supermarkets, so we already knew of a few good places to go before we'd even arrived!
Overall our experience in Rome was amazing, and staying in Francesca's flat was among the main reasons for this!
