Francesco's home in Rome is absolutely wonderful. It is clean, quiet, beautifully appointed, and spacious. The high quality and location of the building provides a comforting feeling of security, as does the apartment unit itself. Francesco is the consummate host. The apartment is stocked with all of the amenities and comforts of home. He met us at his home, as pre-arranged, and provided the information we needed for a great and memorable stay in his apartment. He also generously and thoughtfully provided snacks in the refrigerator, as well as everything one needs to shower and wash clothes. Francesco even made arrangements for my family to take an early morning taxi to the airport!
The apartment building is in Trastevere, a relatively short walk across the Tibur River to the more central part of Rome (where one can find Rome's most popular tourist sites). Taxi rides are easily accessible and inexpensive if one is disinclined to make the considerable walk to relatively distant parts of town (e.g., the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum). We had no regrets about staying in this hip neighborhood, filled with great restaurants such as Tonnarello (best tiramisu ever!) and removed from center city.
We would highly recommend Francesco's Airbnb to anyone traveling to Rome and would unquestionably stay there again if and when our plans take us back to the Eternal City.
