We didn't meet Gianni, but his mother was a perfect host. We had a problem with internet and they tried to do everuthing to help us. The apartment is quite typical for this region. If you want to have this experence you should stay there. It was very nice and calm place with everything you can need for your stay. The interesting places are not too far, in walking distance. The city is very nice. So if you are hesitating now, then don't! You must go =)
