Staying at Gian's place is an old school AirBnB experience...I was welcomed by Gian himself and given a guided tour of the apartment, which is where he actually lives, rather than a place used exclusively for rental. The combination of personal style (unique and charming!) and thoughtful touches (folded guest linens set out in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom) were delightful. The apartment is situated around a courtyard, so there is a whole community that comes with the apartment, and a lively neighborhood on the streets just beyond. I recommend Gian's place to anyone looking for a 'live like a local' AirBnB experience.
