Francesca is a lovely host. She met us at the property even though our train was delayed over an hour. She had fresh baked biscotti for us, along with coffee and other necessities. The apartment is truly lovely. The living room, kitchen, and dining room are very comfortable and spacious. It is decorated very tastefully and very clean. The private courtyard is a real bonus too. The beds were very comfortable. The only negative would be that the air conditioner is only in the common area, not the bedrooms. Fans were provided which helped a great deal and it was already quite hot in June. The bedroom windows open but do not have screens.
The neighborhood is great and we enjoyed the cafes, restaurants, and shops. We even picked up food and had dinner in the courtyard which made for a really lovely evening. The area is quiet at night but vibrant in the afternoon and evening. You get the feeling of really experiencing local life.
Francesca is really quick to respond and very helpful. Would definitely stay with her again.
