My week-long stay at Hotel San Francesco was quite enjoyable! The staff was super friendly and helpful, which really made the experience stand out. The location in Trastevere was perfect for exploring fantastic local restaurants. The only downside was the air conditioning didn’t seem to be turned on during my stay, which was a bit inconvenient at times.
