Unfortunately, the host charged us extra as soon as we stepped in the door. We thought we communicated that there would be two of us arriving. However kind she was, she clearly did not fully understand English text and it cost us an extra $100. She was a very sweet woman but lack of understanding the language cost us and it was a regret in our tight budget. She requested it in cash as well so there is no way to get it back if we were to be refunded. It felt very unprofessional unfortunately.
Besides this, our stay was lovely. Her home is gorgeous and beautiful. Perfect location and very very sweet host. Breakfast was nothing special but the host did really try to make you feel at home. She was very kind but the language barrier was very difficult. She was also always home if you needed anything, but definitely brush up on your Italian! Beautiful home and wonderful location - 20 min walk from train, 5 min walk from anything touristy.
