Francesca's place was great. She has a great eye for style and I loved the artwork, furniture choices, and also the number of books in the bookshelf! The flat was very clean, the kitchen was spotless and full of everything you might need, and the ironing board really handy. There was also a washing machine which would have come in handy if I had stayed longer (ended up hand washing in the next place!)
The location of the flat is great and you can get everywhere on foot. There are also bus stops nearby, including one straight to the Vatican - took me a few days to realise that (wish I'd discovered the Citymapper app earlier in my stay!) The flat is on the site of the Teatro di Marcello - walk around the back of the apartment block and you'll see where the seats were. Just behind the theatre you'll find the Roman Forum and Piazza Venezia with the excellent Capitoline Museums. Being in the middle of the Jewish part of Rome, you have some great restaurants and wine bars on your doorstep with a Jewish twist on traditional Roman dishes and a sense of security - there are carabinieri stations just down the street. Piazza Navona and the lively Campo de'Fiori areas are just 10 mins away on foot. So, for me, the flat was in an ideal location - near to all the busy parts of Rome but just outside of it to guarantee a quiet night's sleep!
Thanks Francesca!
