Frieda was extremely communicative before and during our stay. She provided driving directions to her place, waited on us (even when we were late), gave us recommendations of places to eat, and even offered to attend the Farmer's Market with us on our day of departure. I mean it really felt like we were visiting a friend's home. A very authentic Italian experience! Her home is just as described in the pictures. It was BEAUTIFUL.

One thing to note from a location perspective, about a 25 minute walk/15-20 minute public transit into where the majority of tourist attractions are. So keep that in mind when planning. We had a car and opted to drive, but others walked. Just depends on who is in your group.
