Targa is really quite an amazing character. The sort of gentleman I would tell my children stories about in the future. A vast source of knowledge on many subjects; a meticulous person; but warm and gentle - he treated me truly like family.
The apartment itself is perfect: I can’t add much more that hasn’t already been stated by other guests. It is clean, comfortable, beautifully situated, and full of fascinating pieces of Gabriele’s experiences and memories. Waking up early and watching the light cast onto the city outside the bedroom window caused me to question whether I was truly awake or still dreaming. I seldom write such wistful reviews on Airbnb but Targa and his home deserve it. If you are interested in the culinary arts you most definitely need to stay here and take in some of his knowledge. He was also kind to help me with learning some Italian words.

If you choose to stay here, try to do so for enough time to truly settle into this iconic neighborhood, you will thank yourself later! Calling this place home for a week was more memorable than any museum or guided tour could be.
