Francesco was a great host and his place is amazing - close to everything, with a huge terrace where you can chill after a long day and a kitchen to prepare a coffee in the morning (: as there are 3 rooms to rent, the place has a bit of a hostel spirit - you meet other travelers and exchange tipps and experience on the terrace (:
The stairs could be an issue, for me they where ok. As the place is on the last floor, it gets and stays hot during the night.
