Vera's home is a wonderful place to stay. The location is great, about ten minutes walk from the train station and all major sites. You can see the Duomo from the window, so it's difficult to get lost. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Vera in person, as she was away on personal matters, but she arranged ahead to get us set up with keys and everything. She even had a gift waiting for us when we arrived. She communicated with us often to confirm plans and was very helpful. She speaks great English. I would definitely recommend staying here.
