The host gave us really nice recommendations, and was more than welcoming in making us feel comfortable at their place.
I absolutely loved the little balcony they had. Also, the wifi worked great (unfortunately, many other air-bnbs we visited did not have proper wifi connection).
We had a car on our first day, then rented a vespa for the next two days - it was around 20-30 mins to the city centre, depending on where you're headed. (not too sure about public transportation.)
All in all, I would absolutely recommend this place, and I think it looks better in real life than the photos! :)
