We cannot say enough great things about Giovanni! He was so helpful and accommodating. He gave us some great recommendations on restaurants & coffee spots in the area. He was also very patient and flexible when our schedule changed and we were arriving later than expected back from a day trip and he stayed up late on a Sunday night to help us park our car (literally, he got behind the wheel to help us navigate the narrow streets near his place).
The location was great, easy to access the main attractions and there was also a great wine bar/restaurant right outside our door, yet surprisingly and pleasantly quiet as soon as you are in the apartment. It's a unique space, blending old world charm with mid-century modern accents, including a turntable in the master bedroom. The rooms are spacious and quiet and the private terrace was such an added bonus.
We used the translation app on our phones to communicate and it worked great! He is kind, funny and extremely helpful and his motto is "sempre si" always yes, if you need anything.
Definitely recommend!
