Giovanni was a great host. He was friendly and helpful with his suggestions about places to visit and restaurants in the area. The neighbourhood seemed a bit dodgy, but we didn't have any problems. We especially appreciated the fact that there were basic items in the kitchen - e.g., oil and vinegar, salt, pepper, pasta, etc., since we arrived on Christmas Eve and many of the shops were closed. The bottle of wine was a nice touch also. Thanks, Giovanni!
