Gianni, Francesca's husband was a gracious host as he welcomed us at check in, helped us park our car and luggage and came swiftly when we had some fuse issues. We really appreciated his kindness. The appartment is very central and 10 mins walk to the Duomo and very close to transport. Actually so close that it is next to a tram line so if you are a light sleeper or not used to a busy city, be aware that it gets noisy.
The apartment itself is in dire need of a renovation and a deep cleaning. It was way below our expectations and some amenities in the kitchen and bathroom (washing machine) were literally falling apart.
