We really enjoyed our stay at Michele's place- it was the perfect location for us, as it was easy to get into the centre if we wanted to, but we also enjoyed being in a residential area where locals live, eat and hang out in the evenings. It was a lively area with lots of restaurants, shops, bars and a market, but it was also amazingly quiet at night- perfect! We also enjoyed wandering the streets and being able to see so many wonderful historic buildings.
The space is small but very imaginatively and creatively laid out- we were quite happy to hang out there in between forays, and it felt cosy. I particularly admired the tiny but stylish and well-equipped kitchen.
Michele was an outstanding host- before we even arrived, he had sent us all kinds of helpful information, including lists of wonderful restaurants, some of which we enjoyed trying, and also the amazing gelateria nearby. He could not have been more warm and generous, and we enjoyed meeting him. He was also very happy to be flexible about arrangements for checking in and out, which was very helpful.
In short, totally recommended! Many thanks, Michele!
