Carmine was so welcoming and accommodating. He welcomed us with a bottle of wine and cake :). We stayed in the room with a private bathroom - it was very nice. We were able to use the shared kitchen. The location was excellent - very close to the duomo and other tourist attractions. While there was a bit of noise in the streets when we went to go to sleep (impossible to avoid in this city if you're sleeping with the windows open) we found earplugs provided in the kitchen, which were perfect. I Recommend this place!
