Staying with Gio was an incredible experience! His apartment seems ever changing and is filled to the brim with unique collections and artworks. The location was perfect: a 10-15 minute walk to both the city centre and the station (with luggage). A must go is the San Lorenzo leather AND food market. Also, a nearby restaurant called Il Santo Bevitore that Gio recommended. (Unfortunately we did not get to go as they were totally full-so book ahead!)
There is plenty more to say; but to sum it up-amazing! Thank you!
