Host
This home is managed by Luca
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Luca rents out this house and a couple of others around the city. It takes up enough time to be a full-time job, and he’s been doing it for years so knows the score. Together with his wife, he decorated the places himself and you can tell there’s a personal touch.
