Fran's place makes a great hub to explore the city with a nice central location. The place was clean and bright. If you come with a kids stroller or as a wheelchair user, note that there are about three steps after the entry door before one can access the elevator (make sure to close the elevator doors tightly on all floors!). Otherwise. Fran was easy to contact, had great suggestions for places to see and taste, and left the perfect amount of coffee for us during our stay.
