We spent some of the best days of our trip in Rome, and it was primarily due to Francesco's great hospitality. Though you stay at someone's private home during your AirBnB rental, for the most part it is simply a business transaction. This was definitely not one of those moments, and felt more like we were staying with family. Francesco's hospitality was so great, in fact, that when we ran into each other downstairs on my way back from the pharmacy (wife was sick), he came back 15 minutes later to bring us additional items to help.

As for the unit itself, it's very roomy and located within walking distance of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum (about 10 minutes). It's about 50 minutes on foot to the Vatican, but I would recommend doing that over a car ride to experience what the city has to offer on the way to your final destination. Everything you need for a long stay is provided, and if you need anything else there is a supermarket down the block. Check out the great cafe across the street as well.

We'll most definitely be coming back to Rome.
