Maria Giulia is an excellent host. She kindly accepted our (last minute) request even though she was out of town and arranged for a relative to check us in. She was very helpful in answering our questions and the location is ideal - away from the busy central area but close enough to make travel to and from the main sites easy by bus and achievable several times a day if you want to cram in lots of museums and activities.they are some great spots close by too - the great synagogue and Le Murate Caffè Letterario which has a great student atmosphere. Overall, a highly recommended stay!
