Gio was incredibly warm, welcoming, and has a great sense of humor. His place is like a private museum filled to the brim with unique and imaginative art; most of it created by him. Location is excellent, walkable to great bars and food, a grocery store that is well stocked just steps away, and a really neat church right next door. Plenty of hot water, really comfy bed, giant windows throughout. The only catch in any Italian city is finding parking if you drive, and avoiding the ZTL zones. Gio recommended two garages but both were full. We found one less than a mile away for 30euro but we definitely had difficulty navigating the streets and restricted driving zones. Overall, great stay!! Highly recommend.
