Gianmarco's place was as described. Its location is just five minutes from the Duomo and yes! my room had a view (as does a common room). Gianmarco wasn't there to greet me but a resident was very helpful in setting me up. Gianmarco was excellent in responding to my messages, as well. This Airbnb isn't the intimate experience of living in another's home. Gianmarco has several guests staying and I had neighbors in the adjoining room. He occupies a private upper level. When I did meet him, he was very personable and offered to help with storage of baggage and any other needs. Keep in mind that his place does not have an elevator so you'd better be stair-worthy! My only suggestion? Add another lamp to the room. It was awfully dim in there at night and I'm usually not hanging out in the day. A good stay and an excellent price!
