Located in the heart of Trastevere, you cannot beat the location of Francesca’s spot. When we entered, it was several flights up, which was definitely a work out with our suitcases, but the cool air conditioning inside was a welcomed greeting!
Francesca did a great job of sharing ideas about what to do during our stay and airport transportation, which we really appreciated. There are also many signs in the flat that help to guide you through the do’s and don’ts.
Please read the listing carefully! You will have to pay a cleaning fee after your 2nd deposit and a Rome
Tourism fee in cash upon arrival, which is challenging if all of your guests are arriving at different time, like in our case.
There were a couple of issues with this place - 1. There was a weird smell like mold in the twin bedroom. I would febreeze it, but it would always come back. 2. A couple of the chairs at the table have bent legs. We didn’t sit in them because of which, but just a note to be careful. 3. The cover on the couch also smelled strange, like mildew.
Now, I have a VERY strong sense of smell, so these fragrances might not bother others, but they were unpleasant to me!
Regardless of which, the neighborhood is so great and the location so perfect that Francesca’s place is still a good option to consider with a family of 5!
