Franco is great, extremely accommodative, and very communicative. His place is pretty much as advertised. We stayed during the Autumn shoulder months where temperatures got into the 40s and the place got quite chilly inside, often times colder inside than outside in the sun. There is one portable heater that can be used in a specific room which helps.
Also, the location is great for restaurants and walkability but that also means it is often noisy outside, especially on weekends. Additionally, the house sits on a dead-end street near a school that is often used by people for outside music performances. While unique, it can be loud.
Internet was fairly reliable.
