Francesca was a great host. My friend and I stayed in her place for two days. She was very communicative and responded quickly to emails. The day we arrived she took the time to go over a map of the local area and shared her suggestions where to eat and things to do. The apartment looked exactly like the photos, super cute and quaint. It was very convenient to have a washer in the apartment. Location was great, 15 minute walk to get anywhere. My only concern was there were a lot of homeless people that slept outside the building. A lot of people seem to hang out on the steps of the building and we had polietly ask people to move out the way a number of times to get to the front door. I suppose that is why in her ad she advises not to leave anything valuable in the apartment. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay in the apartment.
