Gio is a very accommodating and eclectic host. The location is not on the touristic side of town which we preferred as it retained a lot of the old town charm. The only aspect that you might want to consider is whether you can handle some of the noise from the parties that Gio might have. We had one of the guests from one of these parties who entered our room thinking it was the bathroom. There is no lock on the door, so we did not feel all that comfortable for that night as we felt that anyone could enter at any time.

It is a 10-15 min walk to the main train station from Gio's place. I would recommend that you take the bus (# D) to Gio's place when you have your baggage. A taxi will cost you 10 Euros, the bus is 1.50 Euro's per ticket and drops you 50 metres from Gio's building.
