We arrived past midnight on a delayed flight. Manuel was in contact with us the whole time and was waiting for us in the corner (you'll find this very valuable riding a taxi in Italy). He also made sure we were OK every day and gave us tips for busses and trains.
His place is modest but comfortable and very clean. It overlooks a city park where you can see how locals live and interact.
As others I would like to thank Manuel for the cake and making sure there was milk in the fridge for my girls the first night.
