Our stay at Francesca and Mara's apartment was excellent. It is in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds (about a 5 minute walk from the busy streets). The apartment is well-kept and had everything we needed. We did experience two minor inconveniences. During the week there was loud construction starting around 8am that interrupted our sleep. The power also turned-off a couple times a day (I think it was a bad fuse). Francesca and Mara were highly responsive and were excellent when it came to giving advise about the city and our travel plans.
