This guy is a super-host for a reason. Talk about going the extra mile. Francesco speaks perfect English, bent-over-backward to help us check-in early, provided Breakfast (!), walked us through all the directions to the local eateries and more. My family was blown away. We would come back in a heart-beat.
The apartment itself is within walking distance of tons of great restaurants in Trastevere. There is a coffee shop/restaurant right outside the front door (opens at 7:40am) and about 3 blocks from the main tram car that can take you to the heart of Rome (drop-offs right at the Colosseum).
We would recommend visiting Tratoria Di Teo for dinner! But make reservations!! (Call, they speak great English)
