Francesco was a patient and friendly host, kindly answering my questions as a first time Airbnber, and his representative in Rome, Marina, gave us a warm welcome on the day of our arrival.

The apartment is in a great location. Right in the middle of Rome it is still quiet and peaceful, yet with a great choice of local bars, restaurants and shops. We were also able to walk along the Via Nationale to the Colosseum.

The cool terrace at the back was the real highpoint – very pretty with its plants and perfect for breakfasts and evening drinks. Inside had pretty much all we needed, although the wifi didn’t work for the first few days and the loft style bed is better suited to the young and agile.
