My stay at Franco's apartment was an extraordinary AirBnB experience. The entire stay was remarkable.
First, there is Franco, who is very kind and generous. As a solo female traveler he helped me maneuver the area, gave me helpful excursion suggestions and even gave me a taxi contact in case of emergency. The trip to The Dolomites is a must! He was prompt with answering all of my questions. His family lives in the same apartment building, and his sister Barbara and parents were very, very kind. And then there is Thea, the family dog who is adorable.
The apartment is immaculate and beautiful. I spent mornings on the balcony drinking coffee and eating breakfast while looking at the beautiful mountain view and partial lake. It was like a painting. I had some quiet dinners there as well. The skylights and big bathtub contributed to the warmth and comfort of the place.
The location is perfect. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to the city center and the bus terminal ( a day trip to Verona for me). The beaches take about ten minutes longer. The grocery market takes about 10 minutes walking.
Overall, I loved this experience so much that I cannot wait to return to Riva del Garda and to the family apartment home of Franco.
I highly, highly recommend Franco's apartment.
