Emanuele was fantastic - the Italian Grandmother I've never had! Great way to practice your Italian when your host speaks very limited English. It wasn't an issue however at all since Emanuele is so friendly and helpful. The doorman knew we were arriving and showed us the way to our room. The apartment room adjoined the entry to the apartment so you were quite separate from where Emanuele resided. This meant the stay was very relaxing; you felt you were staying in a real BnB rather than a spare apartment room. Access to the balcony area is via the room which was even better. The bedroom felt like a large hotel room with ensuite. Breakfast was only cake and coffee, but changed in variety both the days we were there.
