Elisabetta is an absolutely charming hostess who understands the needs of travelers well. She strikes a perfect balance between being available to answer questions and offer suggestions and also giving plenty of personal space. She is aslo a genuinely kind person, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Italian history, and a true artist whose eye for beauty permeates the home. I felt comfortable, welcome, and safe. Staying outside the city center as a tourist was a nice way to experience an actual neighborhood and wind down from the hustle and bustle of tourist activities during the day. Also in the neighborhood is a beautiful large park with exercise equipment and room to stroll. The kitchen was very user-friendly, with some thoughtful touches, and the grocery store was a pleasant 10 minute walk. City bus is easily accessible from the home. I would definitely stay with Elisabetta again and recommend her to friends. For me, Elisabetta is a perfect example of why I prefer Airbnb to hotels: she brings the human touch and local perspective that tourists away from home crave. I have very happy memories!
