What a perfect place to stay in Rome. It's situated in the heart of the Centro Storico, yet manages to be peaceful, private, and among-the-locals. Within two blocks there are excellent, authentic restaurants (from family affairs to super high-end), bakeries, gelaterias, one of Rome's most frequented piazzas, and ample access to public transport. Within a mile and a half (some much closer), all of Rome's historic sites. Francesco greeted us warmly and gave us the rundown of the apartment and provided a treasure trove of information about the neighborhood and Rome. Throughout, he also responded to queries with speed and graciousness. As others have mentioned, he's thought of everything when it comes to the little details of accommodation. And the apartment is spacious, modern, clean and really thoughtfully designed--and that's without the sweet terrace attached to the bedroom. (By the way, the pictures don't really show how spacious the apartment is.) It should be mentioned too that Francesco took the calculus out of figuring out airport transport: for a few euros more than the flat taxi rate to/from the airport, he arranges a black car to pick you up, the driver waiting outside of customs/baggage upon arrival. Then there's a driver waiting for you outside the apartment when you've set up the drive back. It's a no-brainer. The whole experience--the product and the service--was great from end-to-end.
