We stayed in Francesca’s apartment for six weeks, and we loved it. It is well appointed, comfortable, and has a lot of light. It is wonderfully located, near many good restaurants and within walking distance of many of Rome's most famous sites, as well as a language school, where we studied Italian. But there are less tourists than within the historical center, which is a plus. The apartment is also within walking distance of buses, the metro, and the Termini train station, which is very convenient. Francesca is a gracious hostess, and she was always available if we had a question or needed anything. If and when we return to Rome, we hope to be able to stay in her apartment again.
