The host was very helpful, giving tips for the area, walking and travel. The area was very convenient for the river walk, and most places. We walked everywhere! And the space was so cute, it exceeded our expectations and is more stylish than the pictures even are. There is a bookcase of books, most in Italian. She provided a map, some pamphlets, and an intro to the city when we arrived. Other than that, we did not see her very much, unless we would need her. She was awesome!
