Francesca’s is a great and affordable stay in Rome. Apartment is very clean, on the third floor but there is a lift.
Check in was easy, my train was an hour late so I had to reschedule check in and Francesca was very accommodating and met me at the apartment to check in.
Location is local neighbourhood rather than tourist area, very close to Pigneto which is an excellent area for dinner or a drink in the evenings, a short walk.
The apartment is very close to Re di Roma metro stop, on the MEA line which makes it very easy to get into the city centre and all of the major attractions.
There is no air conditioning but a few good fans, I stayed mid June in summer (average temperatures 32-34 degrees) and it was fine sleeping at night.
