Francesca's place is beautifully in character with the area so that we always felt as if we were living the Italian lifestyle. It's so lovely to open those shutters in the morning and soak up the ambience. The bed was comfy, and the kitchen had just enough for simplistic cookery. A real treat was having a stove top espresso maker there to use. The location of the apartment is perfect; unbelievably close to the Colloseum and the Forum, just five mins walk from the metro, and about eighteen mins from Roma Termini. Francesca gave us lots of advice with getting to the apartment from the airport. One thing worth knowing (though not related to the accommodation), if you're hoping to grab some drinks from a late evening supermarket visit, you cannot buy alcohol after 10pm.
Would recommend this cute little place to anyone wanting to experience living in Rome for a few days.
