Pasquale welcomed me with tea and a very nice "Locals" map of the city that he helped create. While talking we spoke a mix of three languages because he speaks 5 languages fluently! The apartment is located in a lively area of town, though street is nice and quiet. It has a large kitchen (with my own cupboard!) an has a very nice feel to it. I felt free to move around like it was my home. Pasquale made sure I felt comfortable calling him if I would need anything, which wasn't necessary. And...very important to me, the mattress was nice so I had a good rest!
