Staying here was a delight! The apartment was spacious and gorgeous—I still can't get over the 20+ foot ceilings in the living room area—and in a lively neighbourhood that was an easy walk to the historic centre. Francesco's mother, Paola, greeted us when we arrived and was an incredibly kind and helpful host. In addition to giving us a tour of the apartment, she also gave us a tour of her apartment, told us about its 400(!) year history in her family, and gave us 2 suggested itineraries for the city and a load of recommendations for pizza, coffee, and pastries in the neighbourhood.
One small note: I think the listing says the apartment has AC which as far as I could tell it didn't. This didn't detract from our stay at all—there were 3 standing fans in the apartment, and from the photos of the apartment in the listing, I didn't expect that it would actually have AC—but just a heads up for anyone who's particularly sensitive to temperature.
