Francesca is a warm and gracious host and just a great human being. Her apartment is not only beautiful and well situated, she really spent a lot of time with me going over the city, it's walk ability, it's restaurants, and places to see and go based on my schedule and interests. I really appreciated her having information regarding gluten-free restaurants and tips on which are the best. They were all great. I took most of Francesca's suggestions and wasn't disappointed! I had the opportunity to meet her family, and to get to know her a bit--and I really appreciated that. My entire experience was wonderful and I would definitely stay there again..
