Our stay at Franca's place was exactly what we wanted. A safe area walking distance from most of the Rome sites. While you could find closer locations, this was perfect for us because it gave us a feel of living like a local and not in the touristy areas.
The apartment itself was very functional and had everything we needed (could have used a washer/dryer, but that is listed in the list of amenities). Especially the Air Conditioning being that it was a very hot stay for us in Rome (96 degrees plus). But with all the air units throughout the apartment, we slept perfectly.
Franca was easy to communicate with and the check in process was straight forward. While the greeter did not speak much English, I speak Spanish so I didn't have issues understanding what she was telling me. Any time I needed to communicate with Franca she was very responsive and had a nice manual in the unit with many important facts.
The elevator was great and we only used it for moving our luggage, the rest of the times we just went up and down the stairs as we like the exercise and it was not bad at all. You are a short walk from most sites in Rome, the farthest was the coliseum and that was about a 1.7 mile walk which wasn't bad at all since you have so many things to look at on the way or stop in for a coffee.
All in all a good location with easy access to everything Rome.
