I enjoyed staying at Francesca's place! The apartment ended up being bigger than I initially thought and two or three people can easily stay there while also having some private space for themselves. The check-in/out went smoothly despite some language barriers and the apartment was cleaned properly. As a host, Francesca was very helpful and available for questions throughout our stay even though she was out of town.
The location of the apartment is perfect, it is within the city center and a short walk away from the metro which will take you all around the city. It is also within walking distance to the central train station where the Airport transfer bus is. Be aware that it is situated on a steep hill, so if you have walking difficulties it might be hard to reach every day. Despite reviews stating the apartment as being a bit noisy, if you are used to living in a (big) city, the noise is not unusual. The kitchen is missing some basic utensils, like a large knife and a wooden spoon or spatula, so keep this in mind if you are planning to cook dinner. Overall, our stay was good and I would recommend staying here!
