Francesca's apartment is very well located, bright and sunny and clean. There is a kitchenette with all of the necessary tools as well as a new washing machine. She and her husband were very helpful with my luggage and giving information about Rome.
The scaffolding blocks the view, which she states so it should not be a surprise. The workers do begin early and you can hear them. This is only a problem when the windows are open, which in the master bedroom they may be because there is no A/C in that room, only a fan. Make sure to lock windows when leaving because there are many break-ins in Rome and the scaffolding does make for easier access.
When I booked the apartment, the policy for extra people was $17/ night after 2 guests. I intended for my friend to stay with me and Francesca was going to charge me an additional fee, which is not correct according to her original policy because there would still only be 2 of us. The policy has since changed to $12 / night after the first guest. I do not feel that an apartment, which is advertised to have 2 beds and accommodate 4 people, should charge additional after the first guest. This means even a couple would pay $12 more for example.
Overall the apartment was great and I would recommend to people traveling to Rome, just make sure to understand the pricing before arrival.
