If I could give 10 stars I would. Both Francesco and his apartment more than met our expectations. The spectacular views from the 10th floor are jaw dropping. I know the photos look nice but to see those same views in person is surreal. After traveling in Europe for a month and visiting several crowded capital cities it was refreshing to get away from the city central and experience how Italians really live their lives. Take everything that I have said and add a thoughtful and responsive host and you have Casa Mamelu.
