We enjoyed our stay at Petronio's house and thought the building and community added to the experience. We met Irene's mum and appreciated all of her help and patience. We lost our credit card and had to have a new one mailed to us. Irene's mum was so nice about helping us with this. We are forever grateful. We did not meet Irene and did not communicate with her much. The flat was well layed out and had everything we needed.
