Let me begin by saying that Francesco is a very warm and welcoming host who made me feel comfortable immediately. He gave me a tour of the apartment showing me everything that I might need. The loft is well appointed and very cozy. His has to be the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on!! Francesco also provided a document that describes the neighborhood bars and restaurants as well as how to get around Roma. Moreover, Francesco was very accessible whenever I had a question. The apartment is very quiet as well.
