We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bruno's and Francesca's. The apartment was situated perfectly for us, one street over from where our son (studying abroad at John Cabot University) was living. The neighborhood is vibrant and enjoyable. There is a farmer's market around the corner, grocery shops and restaurants are everywhere, and the tram is a few minutes' walking distance.
After a bit of confusion about when and where to meet Bruno, we found each other and he brought us to the apartment. It is charming. There are 2 small bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, which take up pretty much the whole room. One room has a sliding door, the other has blinds for privacy. The living area is spacious and there is a full bathroom and an additional smaller one with just a toilet and sink. It was perfect for me, my husband and our adult son.
Some things to note: 1) make sure you are clear ahead of time about when you are arriving and work out a meeting time/place. We sent an email, but we did not hear back, and we wandered around for a while until they saw us at a neighborhood restaurant.
2) The building is older, so there are rules to know about maintaining the apartment, which Bruno will describe. The elevator is very small, so, if you have a lot of luggage, you may need 2 trips. You will also need a key to access it.
3) Bruno and Francesca will leave some breakfast items, which is very nice. Also suggest heading to the farmer's market for fresh fruit and one of the several grocery stores for provisions, if you plan to make breakfast yourself.
4) Take short showers. The hot water runs out quickly. Suggest you press the hot water reset button to activate if you have taken a longer shower.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect location and living situation for us and we appreciate Bruno and Francesca's hospitality!
