If I only had one word to describe Francesco's place it would be: Comfortable. It has a roomy kitchen that is well equipped, and a wonderful sun room that is nice to just sit in. It is near at least 4 grocery stores, several restaurants, and a bus and train station. The bed is not too firm but not too soft either. The couch comes out to make another bed as well. There is plenty of storage for your luggage. It could easily house 4 people. The water pressure did vary between great and so-so, if that matters to you. Also, the ambulances from the near by hospital can be heard even occasionally at night. Francesco was always on the ball, replying nearly instantaneously. I got sick on the trip during Sunday (when the pharmacy was closed) and Francesco provided me some medicine. He provided many maps and tour guide details as well as his own hand drawn maps that were valuable. Over all this is a highly recommended place.
