I didn't meet Riccardo since he was traveling somewhere in the mountains. It wasn't always easy to get an immediate response from him. When he did respond, he was friendly and helpful. The place is in a great location and has all the amenities you would need except no air conditioning. I did not realize that when I booked. You need an AC in August while in Spain! I could not endure the heat since I was working in the apartment in the evenings so had to move to a different airbnb. Riccardo was okay that I ended the booking early though he charged me for an extra night that I did not stay. At that point, I was just happy to get to a place with AC so I didn't question it.
