I would strongly recommend Giancarlo's place. Not just for his immaculate apartment, which is reasonably situated, but for him. As a host, he went beyond just offering a place to stay. He gave recommendations of what to see in the local area, which I love, as I always seek to glean local knowledge.
Giancarlo seems the type of gentlemen who cares about things, which was reflected in our brief meeting.
Go do.
