Giuseppe was a very well-intentioned host, and the apartment is spacious and in many ways lovely. There are a couple of things that would help make his guests' stay more comfortable.

Giuseppe did not arrange for our meeting until very late (we were already traveling), and the meeting was very hectic for our family (he asked that we call him upon arrival - we'd given him a two-hour time range - and we were not traveling with cell phones). It would be helpful to learn (either in the documents he leaves, or from him personally) where the grocery store is, what the best bus lines are, and so on. He did check back with us on the last night of our stay, but that was long after we'd stumbled onto the answers to our questions for ourselves.

Also, when we were there, there were cockroaches in the kitchen quite regularly, even though we cleaned up very carefully every night and took the trash out regularly.

The apartment should be cleaner, and organization should be more clear and farther in advance. We had a lovely time, nonetheless.
