Francesca's apartment is wonderful in every way. The building is beautiful and historic. The location is perfect -- Trastevere is a real neighborhood with character but walkable to nearly every site. (We never took public transport, even for the Vatican or the Villa Borghese, but if you're not down for a 30-45 min walk to these places, the tram and a taxi stand is a short walk from the apartment). The building is directly across the street from the basilica St Cecelia, a wonderful church. We loved coming back after dinner to have a nightcap in the wonderful living room, filled with antiques. One suggestion for foodies: while there are many great restaurants in the neighborhood, the best ones are full every night. Make reservations in advance if you want to eat at the most popular places (Enzo, Enoteca Ferrara, etc). All in all, this place was just about perfect for what we wanted in a Rome trip.
