Franco's place was just perfect for our stay in Roma. The location from the central train station is an easy 10 min walk. We walked around the whole city and didn't have to spend much on taxis to get around. There are local shops close for food and grocery stores close by if you need anything or want to cook all the dishes and cook ware is provided. The only issue anyone might have and Franco let us know up front is street noise. We didn't have an issue with it but we could see how light sleepers might. We thought it was a wonderful place to stay and would recommend it to others who want a central place to stay in Roma.
