Staying with Gabriele is a fun and unique experience. The apartment is very clean and pleasant, especially the terrace filled with plants. The private bathroom was perfect, and the bed was comfortable (I like hard beds, for reference). It’s great to meet new people from all walks of life, both other travelers and Gabriele’s friends. Staying here is like staying with family: Gabriele is kind and knowledgeable about the city and life in general, but he also won’t let you do your own laundry or dishes, so it’s basically like staying with an Italian parent who will give you the occasional word of wisdom. If that sounds like heaven to you, look no further!
