Franca's place was a true gem in the heart of Trastevere. Gorgeous ancient roman quarter that offers some of the best restaurants of the city. Piero, Franca's husband, was the main point of contact while we were in Rome and was always prompt to respond to any questions (either about the best doughnut in Trastevere or the most amazing little restaurants where the locals dine regularly, even directions and useful tips). The apartment itself is very well located, with restaurants, transport and sights just around the corner. If you were thinking of doing much cooking in the flat, you may need to buy a few more things than usual (oil, washing up liquid, sugar if you want a coffee, kitchen towels), but in all honesty, why would you, when you've got the best eateries and bars all around you?
Absolutely fantastic place and great hosts. Would definitely recommend it and stay again.
