Staying at Luca's place was wonderful. Luca and his family were extremely warm hosts. They answered every request with record speed. Luca was kind enough to give me lots of tips (eg. where to hire and buy a bike), which were extremely helpful. He went out of his way to purchase things to make the apartment a home to stay in for a longer period (eg. getting lots of clothes coats hangers), which was great as I was there several weeks. The apartment is in an ideal location for exploring the city, it's right next door to the beautiful Giardini Magerita (gardens just outside the city wall), and there's a great cafe in the "Serre" greenhouses where you can go any time of day and into the night. The apartment is quiet, and has a lovely bathroom, excellent shower, is well-set up if you want to cook and a comfortable double-bed plus extra spare bed. Highly recommend.
