We had the absolute best time at Caterina's house. It's always a bit worrying going to a different country and dealing with the language barrier, but that was never an issue with Caterina. She was easy to communicate with, was very quick to respond to messages, and she really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. We had an early arrival and she was able to accommodate an early check in that really was the most unexpected gift we could have imagined.
The house itself is incredible, even better than the pictures. In a noisy busy city the house was incredibly quiet. Other than hearing an occasional bus the most noisy thing on the trip were the cicada's quietly chirping away at night. We spent most our time on the terrace, we grilled, we used the amazing umbrella a few days when it got too warm. The beautiful plants made it feel like such an oasis in the city. We even got to use the air conditioners a few nights when it was too warm, which was such a luxury.
Overall I'm not sure I've ever stayed in a better Airbnb or had a better experience. Thank you so much.
