The room was very authentic and spacious and we couldn't have hoped for a better bathroom with an amazing shower. Federico's friend Ilaria was very welcoming and helpful, giving us recommendations on where to eat and what to see. The location is great, a short walk from duomo and other attractions but with the great location came one of our biggest problems with the place: it was really really noisy during the night and because of that we didn't sleep at all during our first night there. We also had to keep the windows open during the night because there was no other ventilation. This resulted in the room being full of mosquitoes even though there was a mosquito repellant plug in. My roommate is really allergic to mosquitoes so after the first night we had to check in to a hotel but if you appreciate a great location above all, Federico's place is a great choice.
