We had the best time during the eight days we spent at Francesco’s apartment. He picked us up at the station, and showed us the way to his place (once you know the way, it’s a 20 minute walk). The neighborhood is in a great, lively part of town, with more bars and restaurants than you could visit in a year.’, but the apartment is in the back of the building, facing a courtyard, so it’s amazingly quiet (kind of rare in Italy). It’s bright and airy, the bed was super comfortable, and the place was totally spacious. My only caveat: if you’re a large person, you might find the bathroom rather tight and hard to navigate (also not that unusual a situation). Great value, great place!
