this is my favorite kind of airbnb: someone's carefully crafted, curated and very "personal" residence that is yet so orderly and guest friendly that you feel like it's your own place. in contrast to the airbnbs that are decorated with sleek ikea furnishings and neutral art, francesca's home oozes her taste and style and you genuinely feel that she is happy to host you. the photos speak for themselves about the space, which is fabulous, and we appreciated the proximity to the L for easy trips into the city. we left feeling very pampered and cared for thanks to all the extensive communication, instructions and special touches. great experience! we'll be back!
