I am a lone female traveler so I was a little nervous to say in a large city in a random house but Francesco is so welcoming, kind and interesting! The house is decorated in eclectic foodie deco - its adorable! And larger than I expected. Francesco and I only ran into each other once because I was at a conference every day of my stay. We got the chance to sit down and chat and he made me the best smoked risotto! YUM. Great guy and perfect accommodations. Would love to stay here again.
