Francesco's apartment was an absolutely perfect base from which to explore Rome for three days. My partner and I wanted something located centrally within the historic area of Rome, and from this apartment we were able to walk to all the key sites very easily. Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi (beware, this is currently under renovation at Oct. 2014!), the Pantheon, the Roman Forum and Colesseum, Vatican City, etc. etc. are all a pleasant walk. The proximity of these and other sites means that the absence of metro stations in this part of Rome is no problem. You see so many incredible things walking that we felt it'd be a mistake to travel by train anyway.

The apartment is small, but comfortable, secure and quiet, and since our time indoors mainly involved sleeping, the size wasn't a problem for us.

Francesco was a lovely host - he made us very welcome and met us very quickly upon arrival despite us not giving him advance warning of when we'd arrive. He also gave us some great tips about where to eat and shop.

Looking at the listing again now, I notice that wireless internet is said to be included. This may well be the case, but we didn't receive any information about it from Francesco - be sure to confirm this with him if it's a dealbreaker. It would have been handy, but it was easy enough to find free wifi at bars/cafes.

If you're after a place to lounge about and while away your time in Rome, perhaps this is not for you, but if you want a conveniently located, comfortable base for sightseeing, then we'd highly recommend it!
