Staying at the Piazza de Mercanti is a marvelous way to experience Roma. Francesca is an extremely great host who speaks very good English (if that helps you). We arrived early in Rome and Francesca was able to let us drop our bags off before we were officially able to check-in. This gesture was one of many little moments that made us feel comfortable and at ease. The house itself is incredible. 500+ years of history emanate from its walls. It is perfectly appointed and furnished. The living room features large windows with vistas of the piazza and church. There is also a large dining table if you want to entertain multiple people. The bedrooms were all spacious and very clean. Staying at Francesca’s home is the true way to experience the Trastevere which, in turn, is the true way to experience Roma. 5 out of 5 stars per tutti.
