First of all, Francesco is a great host - flexible and willing to work with you to meet your needs and do what he can to accommodate. The apartment is tastefully decorated and very unique. That being said, we stayed during a hot two weeks in August, and the apartment unfortunately lacks A/C. I'm not sure if this is common or not in Rome, but it was a rather perspirational experience ;). We had a few roadbumps along the way, but Francesco was always quick to respond and work with us to arrive at a solution.
