Manu's place is very interesting. It's in the old town part of Frienze. It's about 15 min walk to Basilica di Santa Maria, very close to Basilica di Santa Croce. There's also a fresh market nearby. Along the streets there are many nice restaurants and a theatre. The apartment itself is very tasteful with everything a traveller will need. It also provides enough entertainment items including board games, video tapes, even a foosball. Manu is super friendly, she prepared quite a bit of maps and intro brochures for guests. She's also very responsive. The only flaw for this place is there's no elevator, it's quite a bit of work to bring luggages up on the third floor.
