Francesca was a great host welcoming us with maps, information and recommendations where to dine. She had a copy of the Rick Steve's guide to Rome which we found invaluable. ...we did a heart of Rome walking tour based on it. Her location is amazing, right in the heart of Rome.....very close to the Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. ...we walked eveywhere. It is a cute apartment with everything you need.....even a laundromat very close that did our entire wash for 9.50 euros so that we could spend more time sightseeing. The restaurants in the neighbourhood are great. When we come again we would love to stay here.
