Casa di Francy was perfect for our family of 3. Francesca ‘s hospitality, along with the apartment location helped make our trip memorable and easy.
First, Francesca’s hospitality was above and beyond what we had expected. Her detailed directions to her place and all the amenities were easy to follow. Additionally, she booked all my taxis to the Vatican, Colosseum, and the airport for us, which made getting to our tours very easy. The taxis were waiting right in front of the building at the specific times. Sure her place is in the center and we could of walked to the Vatican and Colosseum, but in the June heat, the taxis were well worth it. I definitely would recommend the taxi service instead of trying to navigate our way through the city. Francesca always checked in and made sure we felt at home.
Second, the location of the apartment was perfect. We were very close to the Pantheon, Trevi and Spanish Steps. We were especially close to all the great restaurants and gelato places. We would walk around at night and always felt safe because there were always locals and tourist walking around too. We’ve been to Rome before and stayed out of the city center and never felt safe walking around because of all of the gypsies. The neighborhood around Francesca’s apartment was always busy with locals and we hardly saw gypsies and never felt like I would be pick pocketed.
Finally, Francesca ‘s place was clean and comfortable. The entire building was clean. There were also 2 air conditioners which helped beat the June heat.
I would definitely stay at Francesca ‘s place again. Location and her kindness made our stay easy and perfect!
