I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Francesco's apartment.
Francesco is friendly, helpful, and I believe he has a good heart. He is also a very interesting person and easy to talk with. He is young at heart. He is there for you if you need help or advice but will leave you to your own devices if he feels that is what you prefer.
I met his son Marco very briefly, and he too was very friendly, and I liked him instantly.
The apartment is clean, tidy, comfortable, homely, interesting, and has a lovely tranquil garden area and patio. The apartment has a special feel to it and I would book again in an instant!
There are plenty of shops and cafes in the immediate area, and it is only 20 minutes to the centre of Rome by bus. The bus ticket, from the apartment to central Rome costs One and a half euros, and you can use the ticket repeatedly for the next 90 minutes. The bus stop is about 3 or 4 minutes walk from the apartment.
I am looking forward to returning to Francesco's one day :)
