Francesco's apartment was wonderful! It is small, but we were comfortable as three girls. The use of the space is ingenious and everything is decorated beautifully. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed to cook our own meals if we decided to stay in. Our favourite part was the balcony, which has a table and three chairs big enough to eat at, as well as have a few drinks and talk.
Francesco replied very promptly throughout our stay and was very friendly and patient with our questions.
Theresa (I think was her name) is a lovely elderly lady who showed us to the room and explained everything to us. She speaks no English and our Italian was rudimentary at best, but she was very very good at describing it all and making herself understood.
The apartment is very close to the town centre, with lots of places to visit and restaurants. At one end of the street, there is the red light district and the passing trade during the evening made us feel uncomfortable as three girls. The other end of the street has many shops to pick up delicious local food. When we voiced our concern about the area, Francesco assured us that it was safe and gave us alternative directions out of the street. We would recommend turning left down the street just next to the apartment to get onto the main road.
Female travellers especially, please be aware of what you wear outside of the centre as we found that, even if we covered up, we still received a lot of disturbing and unwanted attention. Three of us was fine, but I'm not sure we would have been fine with only two of us.
