Francesco was a great host, offering excellent communication before we arrived and staying in touch while we were there. He met us at the apartment upon arrival, and gave us the grand tour. He returned before we left to make sure we had everything we needed. His English may not be perfect, but we had no difficulty understanding him. He is a warm, personable and very nice fellow.
The apartment was beautiful! The shower is something you just have to see. Just be warned, the ceiling in the bedroom loft is low, don't stand up too quickly when you get out of bed. The place was very clean, and neat...had many amenities and a very cozy feel to it.
