Francesca was amazing from the very beginning. We were coming in on the train from Verona so we didn't exactly know what time we would be arriving until the same day and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once we arrived she met us there to show us the apartment and even took the time to give us an overview of the city coupled with a detailed map so we wouldn't get lost. She also had some excellent suggestions on where to buy leather goods and jewelry so be sure to ask! The location of the apartment is on the other side of the river where all the main touristy things are to see but I thought it was a huge plus since it meant it was a bit less crowded. Everything is within walking distance, even the train station.
The apartment is also quite a few flights of stairs up with no elevator service so if you're not able to make it up this may not be the place for you. Another huge plus was that once it was time for us to check out, Francesca offered us a storage area to leave our luggage for the day until it was time for us to move on to our next adventure.
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your place. It was perfect in every way and even got my daily workout in without having to go to the gym.
