We arrived a bit later in the evening, and Francesca was right there waiting to let us in! She took us up, showed us around the apartment, and shared some tips about the area, things to do, restaurants/ bars to check out, etc. Later in the week we texted her on Whatsapp and she responded right away. She's very friendly and approachable and we both felt very taken care of by her!

The apartment is just like the pictures. Francesca had fresh sheets on the bed and towels in the bathroom. We stayed for a week, so it was really nice to have the option to cook a little (there's a supermarket across the street). At night, it was a bit loud from the traffic because of the single-pane windows but we weren't surprised by this and got used to it quickly. The apartment building itself is also very quiet! Recommended: crank the shades down and it'll be nice and dark at night.

Location-wise it was great! A short 5-minute walk to the city center square, and the market was right around the corner. There are lots of popular cafes along the way as well.

Overall it was a really wonderful experience-- very easy and Francesca was really a great host. Definitely recommended!
