Francesca was a great host - quick to respond and always so detailed! The place was in the perfect location - not only was it pretty much next door to the Duomo, but it's also about 10-15 mins walking distance away from all the major tourist sites and the train station. The decor was very cozy - lots of books, kitchen accessories, decorations - it really felt like staying in someone's home. The kitchen and bathroom are on the first floor, and the bedroom/living space is on the second floor. There is a clock/bell tower nearby that starts to rings around 7 AM (it's silent at night). We like to start our day early so it was a good alarm clock for us, but a light sleeper may want to take note!
