Franca's apartment is beautiful and spacious, just as advertised, in a special location distinguished by its many small cafes and tiny stores where lots of people like to gather, yet the neighborhood remains quiet and intimate. The big front windows look out on the tree-lined street that fills the apartment with light. The decor is tasteful, uncluttered. The building is one of the lovely old pre-war structures with high ceilings and architectural detailing. Franca's apartment is on the second floor, so the climb up the stairs was easy. The kitchen is well equipped for everything I needed. It was very easy to communicate with Franca, and the check in went smoothly. The apartment was very much as I had expected from seeing the photos, but the feeling of living in this neighborhood was a special treat that surprised and delighted me.
