Francesca’s apartment is a very special place, and we absolutely loved calling it “home” during our week in Rome. Crossing the little bridge at Portico d’Ottavia to enter the building was thrilling every time - like walking into history. Living on the edge of the Jewish quarter and getting to know the neighborhood, powerful history, vibrant community, and proud traditions that date back centuries was incredibly moving. We were perfectly situated to explore all the rest that Rome has to offer - Trastevere, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Vatican, Colosseum, Forum, and so much more - all a lovely walk away. Francesca was extremely accommodating, helpful in arranging car service to/from the airport, and available to communicate about any questions we had along the way. The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable, and with all modern amenities - tucked into a building that feels quintessentially Roman. The best of all worlds, with the sounds of seagulls and church bells to greet each day. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and can’t wait to return!
