My daughter stayed at Francesca's place just last week at the end of our 2 weeks in Europe. Rome was our last stop, we were tired but anxious to see Rome. Francesca was very flexible and met us a but early as we changed our arrival time and left Florence early to come to Rome. She was waiting for us with info and restaurant suggestions. We went to one of the restaurants and had a very nice meal. Also Venchi gelato on Via del Croce? Or corso, the names are so close can't remember, is THE place to get gelato, excellent! The apartment was clean and had a nice living area. The couch became a bed for my daughter and I slept in the double in the bedroom, the mattress was hard for me though and sadly not very comfortable. The shower had nice hot water but you have to be small to fit in there as the doors only open to about a 16 inch width. Nice, safe, quiet and doorman building. Great location, near many sights off the red line.
