I met with Francesca's friend, Marco, to pick up the keys and he was so helpful and friendly! My partner and I stayed for two weeks and the apartment definitely felt like it was our home away from home. The apartment is just like the pictures, beautifully decorated with a fantastic view of the Santa Maria Piazza. Based on previous reviewers, I expected it to be noisy, but once I closed the windows, I had no problem falling asleep. The bed is very comfortable! The neighborhood is charming and energetic with lots of restaurants, mini markets, and bars nearby.
