overall positive, but pros/cons like any place.
pros- eagerly helpful host with extensive knowledge of italy/great places, willing to help learn italian, cheaper price, good neighborhood, weekend laundry service, room cleaned daily, floor-to-ceiling door to 1st floor balcony
cons- kinda far from centro, minimal privacy, wierd trashcan routine/setup, must dry the tub stall after each shower with 3 tiny washcloths, might blow smoke on you to see if it makes you leave the room, no AC, odd attempts to unilaterally add things to your schedule
