Franca is a joy and was a friendly welcome after some rough travel. She was incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. She gave me loads of tips on places to go and restaurants to eat at. Her place is a creative, unique and artful space with loads of interesting books. It was also super clean and a pleasure to return to after a long day of walking and experiencing the city. It just felt really comfortable. The location was about a 30-40 min walk to just about everywhere I needed to go but there is also plenty of public transportation nearby including the tram and local buses but I enjoyed the walking. It's on a major street that is easy to navigate to all of the bridges that take you over to the city center and other areas of interest. It was not loud at all though, in fact it was quiet and tranquil. The terrace was gorgeous and open with plenty of plants and places to relax and I wish I would of had more time to sit and enjoy it. I would definitely stay here again and I hope someday I have the chance to. Thank you Franca!
