We loved Francesco's place. Francesco and his wife were at the apartment to welcome us. I had mentioned that our trip was in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary and a time to visit our son studying in Florence. They gave us a bottle of wine in celebration of our anniversary, which was very sweet. They gave us a list of restaurants in the neighborhood and gave us a great map of Rome. Francesco had arranged a tour of the Vatican for us, which was fabulous! We would highly recommend the tour to anyone. Francesco graciously allowed us to leave our bags at the apartment for a couple of extra hours so we could tour a bit more of Rome on our last day without backpacks and bags in tow. That was an incredible gift! I would highly recommend Francesco's place to anyone traveling to Rome.
