Home truths
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
While this home is in an apartment building, there are no concierge or housekeeping services.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
While the home can sleep up to six people, the maximum occupancy is five guests.
Though there's enough bed space for five people here, we think it might feel a little cramped. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of four.

Host
This home is managed by Gaetano
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Gaetano and his team have a handful of places in Italy that they’re responsible for, and we’re big fans. It’s worth noting that it might not be Gaetano himself who checks you in, but the rest of the team are all really nice as well.
