We had a lovely stay in Rome at Francesco's apartment! It is a great deal as it is a short jaunt outside of the city center and we got to see a part of Rome we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. The apartment was clean and felt safe and the kitchen is very well stocked- he even provided breakfast for us! The only minor glitch was that we were without wifi the last day and a half but we hardly even noticed because we were lucky enough to be staying during a saint's day and there was a carnival right outside to keep us busy and entertained when we got home from a long day of sightseeing! Overall I would absolutely recommend staying at Francesco's apartment!
