If you would like to feel what it is like to be a native in Rome, I would highly recommend Francesca's place. It is elegant, very clean and with the market so close by we could prepare some of our own meals in this full size kitchen. I was travelling with my 16 yr old daughter and felt safe at all times. I especially loved the Jacuzzi tub at the end of a long day of exploring Rome. The bus stop is right downstairs and we were easy walking distance to Vatican city and a little further walk to the Coliseum! Gabi was very patient and helpful with us. We even utilized car service to the airport arranged by Francesca when we departed from Rome. All in all, I would book here again. Hopefully, that will be sooner than later. arrivederci bella roma!!!!
