If you use AirBnB because you don’t want a touristy hotel and you want recommendations from a local, then Elena’s place is perfect.
Elena was incredibly welcoming and gracious. She was super accommodating when we got delayed and arrived way later than expected. Even though it was very late, she spent at least 15 minutes giving us recommendations for things to see and do. She’s lived in the neighborhood for 20+ years, so she knows all the best spots.
The family-run restaurant she recommended was our favorite meal during the two weeks in Italy and France!
Elena’s place is cozy and has an incredible view. It also has an AC unit… which is a huge plus in Italy in August.
