The house is across the river and down a tree-lined street, so comfortably away from the "tourist zone" but still manageable on foot. Bus stop is also just a few steps from the front door. Lorenzo was extremely hospitable and friendly. We easily chatted with him like old friends. The house is charming with all the necessary amenities, all spotless and of good quality. It is not huge, but efficiently spacious so that everyone in our group had a chance for privacy when desired. We never did quite figure out the "piano" light switches, but perhaps next time.
