Franca's place is spacious and very ideally located between the Vatican and main shopping street/Spanish steps. it's easily walkable to just about all the local tourist spots and nested in a gated residential area on a quiet street. Rome was quite cold at night (1 degree C) when I was there so it was fantastic that Franca's place had good heating and a nice warm shower that didn't run out of hot water quickly. The elevator was also fantastic to have, as were the comfy beds. Franca herself was a fantastic host and easily reachable. She even let us check out a bit later since there were no guests the next day. Overall highly recommended if you need a central place to rest between a lot of sightseeing in Rome and surrounding areas.
