Words cannot express how wonderful our stay was at Francesco’s apartment. The space was spotless and pictures don’t do it justice. The neighbourhood is within the Vatican City and a Metro stop to take you into the walled/old city is a minute away (although we chose to walk the 30 minutes, or so). The apartment is fully equipped for a long or short stay. What puts this apartment above others we’ve stayed in is our experience with Francesco and his wife, “Jo”. They greeted us upon arrival and walked us through the apartment. They had staples waiting for us (coffee, tea, water, spices, etc.), and a delicious bottle of wine. They have lots of information typed out to help you with your stay (places -restaurants, gelato and questions you may have about the apartment and the neighbourhood). The beds and linens are perfect with lots of closet space. We enjoyed morning coffee and an evening glass of wine on the balcony while the church bells rang. I highly recommend staying here for a visit to Rome and it will be our home away from home when we return.
