Although we did not get to meet Mauro, his partner Elisabetta came to meet us at the train station, which we thought was an extremely nice gesture on their part. She was there when we arrived and from there we went to the house together. It was a joy to meet her and chat for a bit. On the way, she told us about the city and gave us lots of awesome suggestions for dining and the city in general. The place itself is LOVELY, impeccably clean, very comfortable and the location away from the hordes of tourists makes it an obvious choice for anyone who wants to have nice quiet evenings (restaurant and bar options are within walking distance). I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Mauro and Elisabetta!
