We didn't meet Stefano directly, but his friend met us at the apartment and explained everything we needed to know. The apartment is just like the photos, cute and in a great location just a few blocks from the main street with things to see, cafes, stores, etc. It was a little chilly (in April) but there were extra blankets for the beds and I imagine the cool temperature would be quite a benefit in the summer. The kitchen is well-stocked, the only thing is that none of us were able to get cell phone reception while inside the apt - we just had to step outside the door. Also, people who are used to sleeping in total darkness will probably want to bring eye masks (or sleep in the second little bedroom, the one with bunk beds and a door that closes). All in all, a great place to stay.
