The host is lovely, offered us tips on where to eat nearby and offered help. The district is on the quieter side of a tourist place, a walkable distance or a quick tram ride from the Duomo. The place could do with some advanced cleaning and clean sofa covers, but I guess cobwebs are kind of a permanent issue if you have really tall ceilings.
The yard is super cozy, filled with plants. I imagine, it's lovely when inhabitants gather there in the warmer weather.
