Francesca is incredibly helpful and was very responsive to emails before we arrived. There was no problem in collecting the key, and the flat is perfect for seeing central Rome easily. It is in the buzzy Monti area with lots of small restaurants, bars and cafes in the streets around us, including the fantastic L'Asino D'oro so we had lots of options almost literally on the doorstep. Francesca had also very kindly left a bottle of wine for us in the flat which was much appreciated after our journey!

We walked everywhere: it is about 2 miles to the Vatican and Villa Borghese, and a bit less to the Spanish steps. We also walked to Trastevere one evening for supper. Francesca had left a street map of Rome in the flat and we really felt we got to know Rome in our week.

The flat is generally well equipped with lots of towels provided, and a comfy bed. The Nespresso maker was a real treat! We mainly used the kitchenette for preparing picnics and breakfast; it is small and would not be suitable for much more than this but was very useful to have.

We had a wonderful week and would definitely recommend both Francesca and the flat. Thank you!
