Francesco's home worked out perfectly for my sister and I. The apartment is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The bed, bedding and pillows were very comfortable. The rooftop deck was great at night (didn't use during the day as it was pretty hot). The location is close to good restaurants and local markets yet not super noisy. It is on the top floor (no elevator) so be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs. Francesco and his friend Ester were gracious hosts – very helpful and kind. Great accommodations at a reasonable price. And I forgot to mention the beautiful view of Il Duomo from the windows and the rooftop deck. We hope to visit again!
