Francesco's place is in a fantastic location -- a 10 min. walk to the Duomo and close to bars, restaurants, shops, and town squares, while remaining relatively quiet at night. The loft setting is perfect for separation of work and sleep, and the addition of the washing machine really assisted in my extended stay. His parents greeted me upon arrival, and communicated how things in the apartment worked and functioned. Francesco was also kind enough to have an adapter on hand for my U.S. electronics. I would recommend anyone to stay here!
