Francesco's place offered a very affordable location extremely close to Termini train station (about a 3 minute walk). It is about a half hour walk or so from the major sights of the city and great if you are using the train. It was clean and comfortable; my only complain is that a LOT of noise comes through the window, even when it's closed. We heard dogs barking and gates closing in the early hours in the morning and it did not stop. If you're a light sleeper, this probably isn't the place for you, but otherwise it is a good deal for many people.
