Had a great time staying at Franco's place. The location is great -- very easy to find Uber; located in the city such that it helps shorten travel time to tourist spots; a sizable grocery within walking distance; and a couple of really nice breakfast place within walking distance. The room itself is spacious. Particularly love the L-shaped sofa in front of the TV so that we can roll around during downtime. Franco also provides Netflix -- a really nice touch. The bedrooms are also spacious. They don't come with aircon, but that isn't needed because the weather is already pleasant (early Dec). There are noises on the street during the night, but that's expected in city center and it doesn't bother me. The bathroom is good with plenty of hot water and strong water pressure.
To top this great stay off, Franco is highly responsive on Whatsapp -- whether it's a question about his place or recommendations. Recommend this place. And thank you Franco for sharing his place with us and for being a great host.
