We did not get to meet Francesco (his friend Alfredo met us at the apartment and helped us get oriented) but he was very attentive and prompt in answering texts and very helpful in arranging a ride to the airport at the end of our stay; he obviously cares about his guests and wants them to enjoy their stay.

The apartment is very spacious, clean, and comfortable with a large bathroom and a big window that lets in a lot of light. The neighborhood is a great location from which to tour Rome—quiet and residential but within reasonable walking distance to the Colosseum/Forum, St. Peter’s/Vatican Museum, etc. There’s also a Metro stop not too far away for the days when you have a lot of ground to cover. The neighborhood has some wonderful restaurants—we ate SO well while we were there!

I’m glad we were able to stay at Francesco’s and we would certainly stay there again!
