Francesca was the MOST charming host, very attentive and quick to respond to all of our communication & making us feel welcome. The apartment is cozy yet spacious; beautifully decorated; modern, updated kitchen and bathroom; beautiful hardwood floors; meticulously clean; comfortable beds, including the sofa bed! The neighborhood is safe and walkable to the Vatican sites and great shops and restaurants. Don't miss Bonci Pizzarium and Voglia Di Pane, both just a couple blocks away. Great little grocery store, produce market, pharmacy, and bakery within a block of the apartment. Just a couple blocks from Cipro Metro stop to take you anywhere in the city. Despite the fact our flight was delayed and we arrived very late in the evening, Francesca was there to greet us with a smile and a hug, and also a beautiful plate of pastries for breakfast. The kitchen was well-stocked for all of our needs and there were treats in the refrigerator; Francesca thought of everything to make our stay perfect! Do not hesitate to book this apartment. It is a true GEM! Next time in Rome it will be my first choice. Thank you, Francesca!
