Francesca's place is lovely. It is clean, well equipped, and very centrally located (between the Duomo and the fantastic Central Market). Francesca met us at check in, and showed us her place and gave us some recommendations on the best places to go.
The apartment is small, and split over a couple of floors. It's a good base is you plan to spend lots of time out and about.
Couple of negatives - the Duomo bells ring at 7am, and go off regularly and at length. No lie ins allowed! Secondly, I wouldn't recommend this apartment if you're over 6ft tall. There is a lot of potential for banged heads. Small morning people - this is the one for you!
