Francesca's place in Trastevere is a wonderful place to stay at if you want to discover the city. Public transport can get you anywhere very quickly and if you don't mind walking you can get to the entire central part of Rome on foot. Of course Trastevere is a great part of the city to stay and explore. Francesca's apartment was spacious & comfortable to stay at with a family; we all had some private space as well. The presence of musical instruments certainly was a plus for the kids!
