Franco's place is great if you're in Rome visiting. We were there for a few days and it was great. It's really close to the main attractions of the city, 20-30 minutes walk to most of them so we didn't have to use public transportation. It's also very close to Termini station which has amazing links to the airports. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's quite loud (with it being near the train station and everything) so if you like sleeping in this may not be the best.
