Franco is a great host. We, a family of four, visited Rome for four days and the apartment was perfect in all aspects. The location was great, it was very close to Vatican and metro & bus stations with a lot of restaurants and shops around. The apartment was big enough to feel comfortable and the amenities were more than we needed. Franco has taken care of all the details that are important. There were a lot of useful books and maps. Cooking in the kitchen was convenient enough for preparing breakfast and small meals. We felt safe in the apartment and we never had a problem with the noise in the neighborhood. We, all of us, highly recommend Franco as a host and his apartment. We felt like home and this made our trip an excellent experience.
