Upon arrival I was very impressed by the effort that Umberto made to welcome us. The apartment was just as described, and was well stocked with essentials as well as little extras, we found our stay there extremely comfortable. He was gracious and flexible meeting us without complaint even though our arrival was delayed and it was late at night. He proved to be a host that took his role seriously with a professional approach to hospitality; He helped me find parking for our visit, negotiate a price with the attendant he delivered a hair dryer for my wife when we asked about one, and helped me negotiate the Italian gas pump at the nearby station, even loaning me cash since they didn't take credit. I could not imagine a better host. The neighborhood was equally nice and welcoming- the owner of the local convenience store insisted that we take our groceries even though our credit card didn't go through. he said to come back with cash-if we could and not too worry if it didn't work out. I would without a doubt recommend this listing for anyone.
