Francesco's place was perfect for a work trip. I knew I would be in that neighborhood, and I needed somewhere quiet to get a good night's sleep. It was exactly that. I loved the electric shutters - you can get the place pitch black, which was priceless for me. I went to be late and wanted to sleep in, when I woke up at 9 I thought it was the middle of the night because it was so wonderfully dark. It gives onto an internal courtyard, so it is very quiet. You are in the heart of a busy city, but you don't hear a peep. I also ended up being there during a heatwave - the AC was a godsend. It worked very well, very efficiently, and definitely contributed to the great sleep quality.
The neighborhood is elegant, clean, and very conveniently located to go to the center. I highly recommend it!
