Francesca was a brilliant host. She made us feel welcome and re-arranged her greeting time to match our late arrival (due to a delayed train). Her explanations about the apartment and local restaurants / shops etc were extremely useful. The apartment was described accurately and is a spacious, comfortable and well equipped place to stay in Rome for 4 people. It is attractively furnished as well. The apartment is well positioned for getting around to see the huge range of historical sites in Rome using the nearby metro system. Francesca helped us out on our leaving day (when there was a national strike) by booking a Taxi for us and generally showing concern. We had a great stay there.
