Not only Francesca's apartment's location is marvellous — close to the Colosseum and the Forum, but away from the tourist buzz, near amazing local cafés, wine bars and tiny art workshops, but she is a lovely and thoughtful host. Her apartment is decorated with proper refurbished family furniture and provided with all you could ask for a proper "caffè", breakfast and much more. Appliances work spotlessly and it has both a classical and modern feel. I will be happy to recommend Francesca's apartment to anyone :)
