Laura wasn't there, but her father Gusepi was and he was so sweet and welcoming. He gave us a large bottle of water when we arrived and offered us some fruit as we had both had long travel days. We had an amazing New Years Eve with him and the rest of the guests staying there. Such a unique experience. We had a kind of appertivo together and then we all went up to the roof to see the most fireworks I have ever seen! They were going on in every direction. The place is so close to the train it was perfect. There isn't a abundance of sights in the immediate area but everything is in walking distance. I definitely recommend staying here.
