I had a fantastic visit to Francesca's place! Her parents met me at the flat (as she was out of Rome on the day) and they were very welcoming and helpful, and I met Francesca later on in my stay and she was also very friendly and great to meet - and always very responsive to messages before that, and providing lots of good tips for what to see or do while staying. The flat was ideal, it had everything I needed (comfy and quiet) and the location is great - it's within a walk of most places in the centre, and close to bus and metro stops too. The area is also good to spend time in - good bars/cafes/bakeries (eg. bar monti, or antico forno serpenti), independent shops (eg. pifebo vintage shop and humana vintage for clothes, panisperna 220 for books), places of historical/cultural interest (e.g. San Pietro in Vincoli, and of course close to Colosseum and Forum). Overall, a great place to stay! Grazie mille ancora a Francesca :)
