I spent a week in Francesco's place during July/2019. The place is very well located: it is near (~20 min walking) from the Termini station (excellent if you're coming from Fiumicino) and very close to the Policlinico metro station (~ 6 min walking); so you can easily move around from here. If you coming to Rome as an academic visiting the Università di Roma, the place is perfect: you will be literally 6 min away from the campus. The neighborhood was very nice with plenty of options for dining. Upon arrival, I didn't meet Francesco, but was greeted by his sister Chiara who showed me the apartment around. The apartment is great, with a bedroom that actually seemed bigger than what it looked like in the photos. Other positive things were the air conditioning (a big plus in the Roman summer...) and the washing machine. My favorite part of the apartment was probably the small balcony which offers a nice view of the city (you will be at the 10th floor!). In summary, I strongly recommend Francesco's place for those visiting Rome.
