We had very little interaction with our host. We didn't get our key until an hour after we had planned to meet, and we never actually met Massimiliano. Regardless, it was a pleasant stay in a nice neighborhood. Quiet with a good pizza place nearby. The apartment was clean and had one large bed and a large pull-out sofa bed in the second room. A bit far from the city, but once we figured out the metro it wasn't bad. The host was helpful with finding transportation.
