Riccardo is a very thoughtful host! He met us at the apartment..assisted us with our luggage, and made us feel right at home! He made sure we were comfortable with using the appliances..and even showed us how to make coffee the Italian way! The apartment is beautiful...and it has the best equipped kitchen and ammenities! Riccardo has thought of everything to make his guests' stay just perfect! I can't wait to return for another visit!
