Ricordo del mare

The refrigerator and cupboard were stocked with items: juices, butter, 4 eggs, milk, some vegetables, granola, and a few bread products. The host was available to answer questions and replies were quick. He had a written list of suggested places to eat which were informative, where to purchase groceries and even booked a couple of reservations for me. He carried my heavy luggage up when I arrived, down when I was leaving and, when requested, he reserved a taxi for my trip to the train station. I had ample room to more around and spread out as I had the entire apartment, was able to do my laundry there and the apartment was quiet as it was outside of the center. It is about a 30-minute walk to the center which I knew ahead of time. Once I made the trip with GPS it was easy to replicate in the following days.

As an American, the breakfast items in a continental breakfast are too thin and often too sweet for my needs. I was on my own for breakfast and did have to supplement with purchases of my own. Would have loved a paper map on hand.
