Francesco's place is a good value compared to other listings. I didn't book early enough to find anything central, but I was pleasantly surprised at this beautiful and spotlessly clean flat overlooking the water. With a supermarket nearby, and great transport options (30 min into the center), it turned out to be ideal. It's not a tourist area and it's very quiet, and that is a plus for me. Francesco was there to welcome me and his communications were very clear in writing and in person. He helped me with bus routes to places I needed to go, and the stops are quite nearby. We had some interesting professional conversations and I have the impression that he will respect your privacy if you wish but is also open to chatting if you like. Being Italian, he is naturally hospitable.
