Franco's place is a must see! It was built in the 1800's and it used to housed nun's back in the day. The apartment was very clean, spacious, had great wifi, stocked with the necessities, and beautifully decorated with Italian history. We landed pretty early and Franco was kind enough to let us check in before the scheduled time. Check in was breeze; he filled us on the best places to eat, gave us a map to help us get around and even gave us a free bottle of wine. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The Colosseum, and tour routes are a 10 minute walk from the apartment. I highly recommend you book. Franco's location in Rome is in one of the best!
