We didn't get to meet Gio but his friends who checked us in were very helpful and friendly. The flat itself is amazing. There appears to be very little Gio hasn't built himself, from walls to doors to furniture. There's no air conditioning, but even during "Lucifero" we slept really well, which is so much better than expected. The high ceilings keep the place cool and even with the window only cracked (to avoid mosquitos) our sleep was not disturbed. Very surprised how clean the place was given how mentally cluttered with amazing artwork it is. We would definitely stay again.
