Franco’s place is elegant with antique furniture, tapestries and painted beams. It is in a convenient location close to a bus stop and about 5 minutes from a metro station opposite the colosseum. There are a lot of restaurants close by. We found it quiet at night even though there is a restaurant under it. If Franco can’t store your luggage there is great luggage storage a three minute walk away and then it is only one minute to a taxi stand. A taxi to the airport was 50 euros. Franco has a lot of information in the apartment including cards for the luggage storage place. We recommend staying here. Communication with Franco was excellent and he met us outside the apartment for check in.
