Diego was lovely! I only met him at check-in, and he was totally fine about me coming early in the afternoon which was a bit earlier than the listed check-in time. He was very easy to communicate with (I speak no Italian, so we spoke in English). The apartment was very cute, clean, and simple, centrally located, only about a 10 minute walk from some really well known areas (or pizza places) of Centro Storico. Convenient with basic supermarket/pizzerias/restaurants right down the block, 1-3 mins walk. Diego provided some packaged snacks and drinks at the studio, which were nice!
The only thing I would emphasize is that the studio got very hot at times even with windows open and the fan on. I stayed in July and it was around 30 degrees Celsius everyday, so it’s a bit to be expected in southern Italy. But sometimes, during the day especially, I found the studio too hot to stay in (it was hotter than the outdoor temperature). At night it was hot as well, which Diego warned me about when I checked in.
Overall Diego seemed lovely and I enjoyed my stay/would stay again! Just perhaps not in the heat of summer :) Thank you Diego!
