We stayed at Francesco's apt in late Aug for 3 nights and had the most wonderful time. Francesco is a very attentive host: met us the apartment, gave us tips on places to see and where to eat, showed us around. The apartment itself is on a leafy, quiet street, in a well maintained building. Quiet.

The apartment is spotless with lots of light. It is also steps away from the steps leading to the Vatican Museums entrance - fantastic!! There are two grocery stores minutes away. We ate at La Florentina, on Francesco's advice, and it was wonderful: fresh food, great service, locals hang out. We will stay here again and tell our friends about it. I miss Rome already!
