We actually never ended up staying at Riccardo's place as my father died at what was supposed to be the beginning of our month-long trip. As per Airbnb policy, it was non-refundable, but Riccardo kindly messaged me to offer us a free stay for a month in the winter, or 2 weeks next spring, as he is fully booked up for the rest of the summer. I really appreciated his kindness and we hope to be able to visit at the end of the year.
