We loved Francesca's apartment. It was across the street from the Roman Forum, on a relatively quiet side street. There were excellent restaurants and small grocery shops (alimentari) within easy walking distance. The train station was about a 25 minute walk along the Via Cavour. Francesca and her sister met us at the apartment and gave us lots of helpful local information. Our host provided a bowl of fresh grapes and a bottle of wine, as well as some breakfast items. The apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There were many maps available for our use , including a map/schedule of the bus routes. This was particularly helpful, as we travelled out to the Catacombs.
