We had a wonderful time staying with Lavern and her daughter. From the moment we arrived till after we had left, we were made to feel like part of the family. Lavern had very extensive tips and recommendations for us, showed us around her city and took us to some favorite market stands, shops and an osteria. Very good breakfast plus a welcome snack (piadina) and drinks were included. For a small additional fee, she cooked us wonderful traditional local food on a very high level (3 types of pasta and a delicious dessert). During our stay, she was always available to us and was very concerned about our wellbeing. We felt so at home that we ended up hanging out with Lavern and her daughter for much of our stay.
