My family of four (two adults, two young children, needed a place to stay while we were renovating our apartment nearby. We had all the usual requirements for an extended stay, but because three of us were working from home everyday, we also needed private rooms with backgrounds we didn’t have to explain away— and Francesca’s apartment delivered on all fronts. It’s very spacious, very charming, and very aesthetically pleasing. The rooms are large and dramatic, and chock full of antique furniture and art. The whole place is loaded with character, and gives one the sense of staying in part of a period movie set, but without being too precious about it all. The kids loved the stairs and the space to play, and the adults loved the artwork and convenience of staying in a functional and beautiful home. Francesca was also lovely, responsive to every need, and always within reach. We would choose to stay here again In a heartbeat if we ever found ourselves back in the same situation.
