Although we booked and paid we weren't able to stay at Ettore's home. We knew we were going to be checking in late and asked him if this was ok. He said yes, that it was no problem at all. We then asked to check an hour after our previous agreed upon time and he said no. We didn't receive the message (no wifi) and when we arrived later he wouldn't answer our phone calls or messages and left us completely stranded with nowhere to stay in a foreign country where we didn't speak the language. When I asked him for a refund as we did not sleep there (plus paid for a hotel room) , get a free breakfast, etc he refused.
Be very careful before you book as communication is not good and he is inflexible with check in times. So disappointed by this experience.
