The photos do not do it justice. Francesco's place was lovely, spacious, updated, immaculate, quiet, and in the center of all the "must sees". If he is not listed as a "super host", he should be. He took the time to talk to us about what we wanted to see, he marked where everything was located on a detailed map he gave us, suggested things (best gelato location - it's my husband's favorite food group - AND IT WAS THE BEST WE HAD IN ITALY ). Very friendly, very nice, very patient, very helpful man. Oh, and the kitchen was well equipped also! Our suite had a locked door, as you do share the kitchen. There were two people in the other suite, but we did not hear them at all (must be thick walls!)
When we travel I think about "would I like to live in this place?". So far, one apartment in France and Francesco's apartment are "YES!!!".
