We honestly can't say enough great things about staying at Francesca's apartment. The location is INCREDIBLE, and Francesca offers excellent recommendations for food and sightseeing. The neighborhood and city are so walkable and there were many fun things to see and do right near the apartment, and she was eager to be helpful in guiding us to the best things to do. (There is an amazing pizza place right around the corner as well, which was surprisingly a real highlight for us!)
I originally would have thought that it being a basement apartment with no window views would have been disappointing, but it turned out to be a real blessing -- the apartment is so cozy and clean and the lighting was lovely. Lots of fresh air and very quiet. We loved our stay!
