Host is very helpful and gives you useful suggestions for the local transportation and places to visit. They gave us umbrellas for our really rainy days in Napoli and it was the only chance for us to see the city! Thanks a lot!
You would need thick warm socks for the colder winter days - the only heat source there is an air conditioning device in the bedroom. Stone floor outside of the bedroom was extremely cold. Of course, I believe that in the summer time it would be an advantage.
