I actually didn't get to meet the host but we met his mother, Natasha, and she was really wonderful and accommodating! The host helped connect us to Mario, a taxi driver, who picked us up from the train station and drove us to our room. He also picked us up the following morning at 6am to get us to the airport. He was perfectly on time, only asked 10 euros per ride, and was very friendly. Mario spoke a bit of english, Natasha spoke nearly none, and in our emails it seemed the host did not speak much more than Natasha. We were a little frustrated by how hard it was to communicate over email. Especially since the address did not give us a house number which made us concerned about getting to our room. If you stay here I would recommend agreeing to meet Mario and letting him take you to the room since it would be very difficult to find otherwise. Aside from that, even with the language barrier this was a wonderful place to stay! We had the room, bathroom, kitchen, and living room all to ourselves at night, when Natasha went and slept next door. And during the day she made us a wonderful snack (caprese salad, fruit, and water), dinner (risotto loaded with veggies), and breakfast. We were ultimately very glad to have stayed here!
