Fran's place is beautiful, clean, comfortable and cozy! It is conveniently located minutes away from the train station as well as Piazzale Roma, which is great if you need to take the Bus to or from Marco Polo Airport. Although it is walking distance to these stations, the area is not overly crowded and Fran's home is on a very scenic and secluded street. I'm glad I stayed in this area as opposed to Piazza San Marco, where it is tourist central and overly priced. This was my first time traveling to Italy, as well as traveling alone, and staying at Fran's was the perfect way to start of my trip! Thank you Fran! :)
