Franca's Airbnb was AMAZING! It was larger than I expected, and centrally located from everything I wanted to do (Old Rome, Vatican, and various parks). Franca put in some wonderful touches to make the check-in accommodating (some snacks, let us in early, called us a cab) - overall, one of the most thoughtful Airbnb hosts I've ever had.
Skip the shoddy Italian hotels, save some money, and stay here!!!!
