This was our very first trip with airb&b, but a pleasant experience in staying at Francesca's place.
The taxi driver from airport dropped us off at a completely wrong location, several blocks from Francesca's place. To add to that, my cell phone was dying with low battery. So, it took us a very long time to re-connect with Francesca, who to our impression must have been worried as we didn't buzz the door bell in time as expected, and even longer to finally walk to her place. To my surprise, even though it's a couple of hours past the original check-in time, we went in without any issue. So, that really helped offset the bad experience with the taxi driver and certainly shows Francesca's patience and welcoming personality.
Another thing I'd like to add is that, in the middle of our five-day stay, the wifi router stopped working and we ran out of coffee - by the way, we tried the Italian espresso maker for the first time too and we love it!. After we mentioned to Francesca, she had the router fixed and coffee refilled when we went outside sightseeing. Even though she's not responsible for the consumed goods! So, thanks very much!
The location of this place is very good to our preferences. Not just we'd walk to many sites nearby, we found several restaurants in the neighborhood good for a quick eat or excellent for sit-down.
We absolutely enjoyed the stay!
