very comfortable apartment in a very fun neighborhood. We were able to walk or scooter to some of the main big tourist attractions within 30 min. Nice shady street. There's a good cafe right downstairs and it's in a major bus line. The apartment was thoughtfully laid out (I especially loved that each bed had its own gooseneck reading light easily accessible from the bed, as well as its own little shelf). I liked the art they had hanging in there, and Franco's wife (who is an artist from my understanding) even left a watercolor set with brushes and a pad of watercolor paper out for guests to use. They also had a fantastic two person desk with a set of colored pencils and a handmade guide to Rome. There were board games and interesting books, and they even left us bread, coffee, milk and cookies so we were able to make our own breakfast. The induction hot plate worked very well, as did the washing machine. Franco met us at the cafe and we had a great conversation while we were waiting for the cleaning to finish (we were early). It was so comfortable I wish we could have stayed longer. We slept on the pull out bed and it was pretty comfortable for that type of bed.
