Francesco's apartment may have been the nicest one we've encountered in Europe. A newly renovated apartment, it is spacious, clean and beautifully designed and executed. The location is a mixed blessing. A second floor flat, it is close enough to see all that goes on below. Unfortunately, it is also close enough to hear much of which goes on below. If you are a night owl, as I am, it is perfect. If you have a young family that goes to bed early, you may find it to be too noisy. Again, Francesco's apartment was perfect for us, and we will stay with him again as soon as we can! Thank you.
