Francesca was an excellent host! She was very attentive about my arrival, asking me at what time I was going to arrive and telling me how to get to the apartment (what buses to take etc.).
When I got there she showed me around the apartment which is really nice and clean. She told me about the city, what places to go see and explained how the city centre is organized. She also taught me a few key words of Italian which I appreciate a lot. She speaks very good english despite that she is still learning it. She was always open to answer any questions I had and gave suggestions from where to eat and what to try to the places that are really worth seeing.
Francesca provided me with everything I needed (towels, wifi, a clean bed) and more. She always provided guest with water bottles, a fan in my room, food for a quick breakfast (Nutella, bread, coffee...) And the kitchen was well equipped and available if I wanted to do my own cooking.
The apartment is a little far from the city centre but the area seemed very tranquil, having grocery stores near by and a pizza man. I had to take a bus if I wanted to go to the historical centre but it would take roughly 25 to 30 mins to get you there. So it wasn't bad. The only downside is that you had to be aware of certain bus schedules if you were to stay in the city till after 10 pm. From that time buses don't go out very often.
I definitely recommend staying with Francesca, the price she asks for is reasonable and her apartment isn't too far from the city centre. She is a very lovely host and gives you great tips for eating etc. I would definitely stay there again.
