Che Bello! Francesca was the ultimate hostess- she was so available from the start. She quickly answered phone calls, greeted us at the apartment, and brought us authentic Italian breakfast each day! The pristine apartment is located at the top of a hill but the taxis are easy to get and the view IS WORTH EVERY STEP. There is a doorman and elevator in the building, as well as a gated courtyard. The neighborhood is super safe and friendly. We purchased paninis and wine at a corner store and sat on the wrap around terrace surrounded by lemon and orange trees… and just took in the magical view of Rome. The couch, beds, and bedding were so comfortable. Our daughter met us the 2nd day and she was welcomed by Francesca while we were exploring the Colosseum. The following day Francesca woke early to bring us breakfast and offered to store our luggage while we visited the Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, St. Peter’s Basilica, and explored the beautiful Vatican City.
