Host
This home is managed by Carlo
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Carlo, who also works as a personal trainer, looks after this apartment with the help of his mother. He takes care of the business side, will help you check in, and will be on hand if you have any questions, while his mum, who's an architect, is in charge of the interiors. Naturally they are both very proud of their family apartment, and rightly so.
