Gianluigi and Luisa were very gracious hosts. They tried to make you feel at home and anything you needed they immediately provided. The location was very convenient, 5 min to the academia, 10 min to the Duomo and 15 min to the train station. Grocery stores and restaurants were within 5 to 10 min. The only 2 negative things were the couch, which when you sat on it you could feel the springs and that made it very uncomfortable and the very loud garbage pick up which happened every morning at or before 6am and was right outside the bedroom window. There are also 3 flights of stairs going up to the apartment which you might want to be aware of.
