Maurizio was a great host as he greeted us promptly after notifying him that we had arrived at the train station. He was thorough with explanations of the place, he was helpful with our luggages (we had 7). He has an elevator but be aware that the elevator goes only up to 3rd and his home is on the 5th so you will have to bring the luggages up the next two flights of stairs. The place was private, lit, well kept and clean. The washer worked well. As far as drying clothes, you would need to use a drying rack as it doesn't dry with machine (or maybe we couldn't figure out the drying with machine). The beds were cozy and comfortable. He had great recommendations to food places. The restrooms were great as it drained efficiently and could take a nice hot shower after a long day.
