Guest Reviews

• EDER (8/5): Nice staff and clean place - Very clean Too many stairs
• Angela (10/5): Excellent stay with amazing views. - Great location which was very central, just up a few(!) steps, which were fine for anyone with reasonable fitness. Suite was spacious and the view from the terrace was amazing! The owner was very friendly and helpful, meeting us at the ferry to carry bag and show us to Casa Mao, explaining the history and also daily with tips and information to help make our stay even better.
• Markel (8/5): - Localizacion
• Joanne (3/5): -
• Georg (10/5): it was amazing, happy to come again -
• LOREN (10/5): Gianfranco the host was amazing. Helped us with the luggage’s up the stairs. He was very responsive to every question we - Great design, great location, just a few steps from all the restaurants and shopping areas. The stairs on the way there was tough but I guess that’s just amalfi.
• Sara (5/5): -
• Jani (10/5): Breathtaking city view - Amazing central location with the best city view! Gianfranco was very helpful and kind at any moment. The room was clean and bathroom was spacious.
• Wim (10/5): -
• Sandy (5/5): - Le contact avec le propriétaire est facile, la vue sur la terrasse est magnifique. Le lieu est un peu éloigné du centre et il y a beaucoup de marches pour accéder. Toutefois, ce qui a réellement terni notre expérience dans cet établissement est que nous ne nous sentions pas à l’aise. Exemple: La terrasse n’était pas aménagée lors de notre passage ( pas de table , de chaise ..juste un toit..le propriétaire nous a dit que nous pouvions prendre des chaises et les tables ( sales) sur le côté mais que nous devions les replacer après usage. Plusieurs affiches/pancartes sur les murs de la chambre pour aviser de suppléments $ si : on utilisait la bouilloire à d’autre fin, si nous oublions nos clés, si nous fermions ou changions les setting de l’humidificateur ( qui d’ailleurs était bruyant la nuit et m’a empêché de dormir car je n’osais pas le fermer). Aussi nous avons eu un retard avec notre ferry et avons presque dû payer un supplément de 50euros!! si nous arrivions plus tard que 18h30 ( imaginez le stress..) et le propriétaire nous avertissait de fermer les lumières du couloir principal après notre passage. Bref… tout ces petits éléments ne nous ont pas fait sentir confortable et tout semblait porter sur l’argent. Bref, malgré la belle terrasse, les chambres correctes, je n’y retournerais pas.
• Michal (10/5): - Great stay in Amalfi! Gianfranco was incredibly helpful even before our arrival, providing us with tips that made finding the place and settling in effortless. The room was spotless and well-equipped, featuring a large terrace with a stunning view. A huge plus was the early check-in, which allowed us to drop our luggage and rest immediately after our journey. Highly recommended!
• Myrella (9/5): Geweldig! - Prachtige locatie met aan alle kanten uitzicht. Groot terras aan het appartement met tafel en stoelen. Fijne badkamer en slaapkamer met extra tv. Super vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar. Houd rekening met een flinke klim vanuit het centrum naar het appartement. Het is wel te doen als je goed ter been bent. !!!Niet voor publicatie!! op Booking site!!! Misschien puntje van verbetering; Er is maar één sleutel voor het hek en een voor de toegangsdeur, die dan ook direct met de stroomvoorziening van het appartement verbonden is. Als je partner even alleen naar het centrum /strand wilt en de sleutel meeneemt , dan zit de ander in het appartement zonder stroom of moet je elkaar bellen om naar het hek te lopen. Wij vonden dit onhandig (bv als je wilt douchen) en beperkt de vrijheid. Meeste accommodaties geven 2 sets, elke persoon 1. Verder alles perfect!
• Susan (10/5): Fabulous stay and hope to visit again - Thank you Gianfranco for a wonderful stay! Taking the time to personally greet his guests at the pier and guide us to his BnB was an extra touch I hadn’t expected though was appreciated. He was very helpful to share a local map via WhatsApp so that it was easier to find our way around, also providing recommendations on how to take local transportation and which restaurants were open during a holiday next day. The room was spacious and had all the amenities I could ask for, plenty of hangers and storage space, extra pillows, an in-room safe, you can tell he takes much care of his accommodations, adding a dehumidifier in the bathroom since the building is partially set into the mountain and even with a regular ventilator it can be humid. Great water pressure and shower, clean, sizeable towels. Bidet available. Accommodations spotlessly clean, sheets and blanket was warm enough for the chillier nights (in mid-April), pillows were fabulous (memory foam!) The bed was comfortable and set under a retractable sun window, which was great to let in the evening breeze. Regular and usb outlets next to the bed for charging devices. Plenty of lighting, tv worked well. Good wifi. Electric kettle, instant coffee and tea, and a couple tea cups available in the room. Expressly written in the rules that cooking in the rooms is not allowed, which is fine for me. Minibar with drinks available. Some people mentioned that there were a lot of rules, they seemed mostly common sense and pretty straightforward requests of a proprietor who’s very careful and thoughtful. Like others have mentioned it’s a bit of a climb up some winding stairs up to the hotel which wasn’t too bad if you are in moderate shape. I planned ahead and didn’t bring a carryon, personally I wouldn’t recommend bringing more than a carry on up these stairs, unless you’re in terrific shape and I did see others with large luggage. If there was one recommendation I make—it’d be to mention on the hotel listings websites that terrace access is seasonal. I booked this accommodation in part for the terrace view. This didn’t end up being a concern because the view was similar from the front entrance and the rest of the Amalfi coast has plenty of amazing views.

• William (10/5): Best staff ever - I loved the staff; Gianfranco was brilliant. He puts a lot of effort into everything. Our transport was canceled, and he made sure we were okay getting there. Lovely room and area. Only issue is there are a few of steps, but not to much of a worry.
• Pilibaitis (10/5): I loved the stay. - Very good central location, very nice host, amazing terrace.
• machiko (10/5): -
• Eunji (9/5): - 주인이 친절하게 데리러와줬어요. 그리고 여행지 가이드처럼 포지타노나 다른도시가는 버스 시간표도 잘 알려주었어요. 숙소위치는 어렵지만, 가면서 설명해주었고 동영상도 보내주어서 잘 기억할수 있었습니다. 숙소도 넓어서 캐리어 짐을 두개나 펴둘수 있었고 뷰도 좋았으며 깔끔했어요:) 캐리어가 무거웠어서 힘들었음에도 저랑 남편은 무척 만족하는 곳이었습니다. 위치가 완벽하진 않지만, 뷰가 좋아요

• Евсеев (10/5): -
• Lubovsky (5/5): - צוות נכלולי
• Vania (9/5): - Tutto nuovo e pulito Non era prevista la colazione
• Daniela (9/5): - Gemütliches Dachzimmer mit Dachfenster und viel Stauraum. Badezimmer sehr stylish mit zitronengelben Fliesen und Regendusche. Lage auch spektakulär, durch kleine Gassen mit vielen Treppen zu erreichen.
• Ruo (10/5): -
• Marian (10/5): Păcat să stai doar o noapte! - Patronul foarte serviabil, liniștea locului și peisajul spectaculos!
• Haruki (10/5): -
• Yuhi (9/5): - オーナーが日本好きの方で、説明もとても丁寧だったので安心して泊まれました。 ホテルまでの道のりは階段が連続しているため、スーツケースがあるときついかもしれません。
• Brigitte (9/5): -
• Ariel (8/5): Muy buena atención si soportas las escaleras es buena decision - La habitación y sus instalaciones son sumamente comodas Las fotos de las vistas no son de "todas" las habitaciones sino de la terraza....mi habitación solo ventilaba por una clara boya muy bien armada electrica y demás pero no tenia 1 sola ventana. Y no aclara que para llegar hay un laaargo camino de escalera ...
• Fabrizio (8/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): Charmigt och trevligt - Trevlig värd och charmigt boende
• AD Horvath (10/5): Cozy winter retreat - Casa Mao is the perfect cozy winter retreat. The romantic way up set the tone for a stay that felt truly intimate, with all of Amalfi so quiet and free from the usual crowds. I loved how bright the suite was, looking out over the whole of Amalfi—that view is the absolute highlight. I added fresh flowers and a Byredo "coin laundry" candle, which blended perfectly for total sensorial enhancement and made the space feel incredibly atmospheric. While the handbook is useful, it is way too long and strict. It feels inflexible, as if it assumes a guest might vandalise or destroy something. Even though I had no problems, it makes the experience feel less relaxed.
• Luca (10/5): - Posto super! Struttura bellissima, rifinita in ogni dettaglio d'arredo e di comfort e con una terrazza vista mare da capogiro. Per chi vuole soggiornare ad Amalfi è sicuramente un luogo ideale. Se torneremo in Costiera sarà senz'altro la nostra base di partenza. Nulla, è tutto perfetto!
• Diana (10/5): Beautiful balcony, huge room, excellent host. - Thank you so much for your compassion. We had to change our travel plans due to ferry service stopping for weather. This added hours to our trip and they helped to make this still a special part of our vacation.
• Elena (8/5): - Las vistas desde la azotea, el trato y amabilidad de Gianfranco. Habitación amplia y limpia. Muy céntrico. La habitación tenía un traga luz y era un poco oscura pero bien para una estancia corta. Para llegar a la casa hay que subir muchas escaleras, poco cómodo si vas con maletas.
• Brian Gabriel (9/5): - The host was super helpful and had a great sense of humor we felt right at home!
• Vanessa (10/5): Excelente - Gianfranco nos atendió excelente, nos ayudó con una reserva del restaurante y siempre estuvo atento a nosotras. Un anfitrión excepcional!! Gracias!! No estaba preparada para tantos escalones, pero la vista hizo que valiera la pena.
• Sacco (10/5): - Bellissima struttura all’interno del centro storico di Amalfi, tra vicoli tipici e vista mare
• Yvonne (10/5): - Everything! Gianfranco, the owner, was amazing. He is so friendly and helpful making sure we got settled, quickly sending us links to restaurant, supermercatos, and maps. He was a joy to talk to. Casa Mao has a rich family history and is just a beautiful place to stay. Clean facility with large rooms. Beautiful terrace with stunning views that we used every night. My family highly recommends Casa Mao. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
• TSUKASA (10/5): -
• Jan (8/5): Perfect location - Great location above Amalfi with a great view and just a few minutes walk to the main square and beach. Very nice room, super friendly and helpful staff. Thanks to Gianfranco! Would definitely stay there again if we were 2 persons. We were 3 friends and booked a triple room and the 3rd bed was a folding bed and quite hard and uncomfortable. Also there were only 2 cups. The main bed was good. It was okay but as it was almost 30% more for the third person it would be good to have the same comfort for the 3rd person
• luca (10/5): - Gianfranco molto gentile ed accogliente. Ci ha anche aiutati con il parcheggio che ad Amalfi è difficilissimo da trovare
• Corcella (9/5): -
• Guest (9/5): - Vista bellissima su Amalfi, personale gentile e molto disponibile ci ha dato molte indicazioni e consigli anche riguardo i vari ristoranti e posti da vedere. La nostra camera era bella grande , unica cosa che c’è una finestra sul soffitto che fa entrare la luce già a prima mattina. Il Beb è vicino al duomo quindi comunque una posizione centrale Purtroppo essendo nel centro storico ci sono tantissimi scalini, in estate e con i bagagli potrebbe diventare molto faticoso raggiungere il beb. Noi per fortuna abbiamo soggiornato a dicembre quindi non è stato molto pesante, ma in estate ci penserei un pochino.
• Francesca (10/5): - Fantastic view, clean and welcoming. Convenient for Amalfi centre. Staff super kind.
• Andrea Mario (9/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Joanne Beverly (10/5): Beautiful - Everything was perfect. Gianfranco was the perfect host with helpful information. The room was lovely. The balcony and view was definitely a highlight of my entire trip. Easy to find using the video, I didn't find the stairs difficult at all since I stopped at every corner to take photographs of this picturesque place.
• mauro (10/5): -
• Hoshen (10/5): - Beautiful place with great hospitality
• Lina (10/5): -
• Tiberiu (10/5): - Amplasare la cateva minute de mers de Domul din Amalfi. Se urcă destul de mult pe jos, pe scările straduțelor istorice inguste, insa priveliștea de pe terasă este minunată.
• Marquez (10/5): A great choice - I loved the view, how ever I wish The was an important caption that tourist could not enter the city clearly. We arrived late with heavy rain and was trying to unload our luggage before parking. The property was immaculately clean. Great comfortable place. The view was breathtaking. I recommend this place.

• John (10/5): Breathtaking - The view from our private balcony was amazing! A lot of steps, but that’s what love to leave wonderful view.
• Francesca (9/5): -
• Merita (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen - Super Lage und auch eine sehr schöne Aussicht. Die Zimmer waren groß, geräumig, sehr sauber und die Einrichtung hatte was Authentisches und Individuelles an sich. Die Terrasse war super, obwohl wir die leider nicht benutzt haben, da das Wetter nicht mitgespielt hat. Der Host war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, alles vorher per WA erledigt und auch während des Aufenthaltes immer sehr hilfsbereit und bemüht um einen angenehmen und sorgenfreien Aufenthalt. Wir waren Mitte Oktober dort, und es war ein bisschen kühl/kalt (hat auch noch geregnet), d. h. vielleicht sollte daran gedacht werden, eine Zusatzdecke im Zimmer zu stellen oder eine Heizung. Aber grundsätzlich hat alles gepasst. Auch die 4 Minuten Treppensteigen, bis man zur Bleibe kommt, nimmt man in Kauf, obwohl es ein bisschen wie ein kleines Labyrinth vorkommt, aber dafür ist die Aussicht spektakulär ist.
• Mónica (9/5): - Todo excepcionalmente limpio. Hay que estar preparados para subir escalones, como la mayoría de los lugares de Amalfi, supongo
• Brandon (10/5): 10/10 - Beautiful Apartment, perfect location and Gianfranco was an amazing host. Our stay couldn't of been any better!
• Heli (10/5): Paljon enemmän kuin osasimme toivoakaan - Majoituspaikka oli erittäin siisti ja viehättävä. Tilat olivat mukavan persoonalliset ja paikan omistajan isoisän taide toi hienon vivahteen estetiikkaan. Gianfranco oli ihan ässä tyyppi! Missään en ole kokenut sellaista sydämellisyyttä ja panostusta asiakkaan viihtyvyyteen ja loman sujuvuuteen. Viestejä vaihdoimme suomeksikin (vau!) ja huoneen yleisohjeistus löytyi myös meidän äidinkielellämme. Mahtavaa palvelua, josta emme osanneet edes haaveilla!
• Lali Aguilar (10/5): Bellos atardeceres desde la terraza - Fantástico. Habitación amplia, con una terraza que permitía ver todo el pueblo y los atardeceres. Gian Franco muy amable , nos orientó y brindó información durante toda la estadía. Camas cómodas y almohadas también. No tengo quejas de nada. Veía en los comentarios sobre el hecho de subir escaleras, pero vamos es Amalfi, todo es en subida. Realmente Fantástico todo. No tengo ninguna queja. Todo estuvo bien.
• Catherine (7/5): - The owner was very nice and hospitable and the room was quite large. The bathroom was nicely modernized and spacious. While not within the control of the location, it really is quite a journey up the steps to the rooms. We took advantage of a porter business to bring our luggage up on arrival and down on departure. I highly recommend this option.
• Janne (7/5): - Rent og god udsigt over byen. Værten delte guide til at finde stedet og hjalp med guide til bl.a. transport og spisesteder. Der var meget lydt så vi kunne høre når personalet mødte ind og snakkede og gjorde rent om morgenen
• Martijn (8/5): - Alles was heel schoon en netjes. Vriendelijke gastheer die je welkom heet. Duidelijke communicatie. De kamer had een prachtig uitzicht! Veel trappen maar dat is Amalfi. Rustig aan dan is het goed te doen.
• Neelam (8/5): Lovely guest house - Gianfranco was incredibly helpful and kind, even escorting us personally from the ferry port to the hotel. He also helped us with any requests (such as giving us a duvet) and with sorting our return journey out too. Thank you for a comfortable, peasant stay in a beautiful location! The room was simple but clean ans the shower was powerful enough. This wasn't a problem but the property is obviously up a LOT of stairs - just for others to bear in mind if they have lots of heavy luggage or any injuries/mobility issues. We are both able-bodied and even we struggled!
• Mia (6/5): - Rummet var fräscht och stort. Tyvärr var det lite regnigt när vi var där så kunde inte utnyttja den fantastiska utsikten från altanen. Giancarlo som tog emot oss var väldigt serviceminded och hjälpte till med allt vi frågade om! Det fanns inget fönster i rummet, bara ett takfönster. Synd för vi gick 160 trappsteg upp till hotellet för att kunna njuta av utsikten. Ingen frukost, men det visste vi ju om . Mer B&B än hotellkänsla.
• Osvaldo Rosenfeld (10/5): Excelente lugar para moverse por la costa amalfitana. - La atención de Gianfranco, siempre dispuesto a ayudar con sus consejos. La ubicación excelente, cerca de la calle principal (obviamente con escaleras por ser una ciudad en altura). Todo muy bien.
• Růžena (9/5): -
• Tan-Ying (9/5): A fabulous stay & an exceptional host! - The room was impeccable! It was new, spacious, cozy & clean with tasteful decor. The bathroom was huge. The rooftop provided spectacular views of Amalfi. Gianfranco was an exceptional host who was friendly, helpful & thoughtful. He made us feel extremely welcome & well taken care of. He was proactive in offering information even before we arrived in Amalfi, & also extremely obliging with any questions we had. He sent a video with clear directions on how to get there & shared lots of useful information such as dining & transport options. The 159-step climb to the apartment with luggage was gruelling but I suppose that’s the price to pay for the stunning rooftop views.
• Claudia (8/5): -
• Alexandra (9/5): Comfortable room and a lovely host - Room had all the essentials and was as per the pictures. Gianfranco was a fantastic host - really helpful, friendly and responsive.
• Dezsone (1/5): Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Communication and Unprofessional Behavior - Our experience with this property was unfortunately very disappointing, primarily due to the owner’s attitude and lack of professionalism. From the outset, communication via WhatsApp carried a negative undertone — the owner came across as rude and demanding rather than welcoming. Upon arrival, we were instructed to rush up roughly 160 steps to make it in time for check-in. When I explained that my mother, who is over 60, couldn’t manage that climb in under ten minutes, the owner expressed clear disappointment and showed no empathy or flexibility. Instead of offering a reasonable solution or an alternative check-in option, he maintained a rigid stance. In 2025, when online check-ins and key lock systems are common practice, such unwillingness to adapt feels outdated and unnecessarily inconvenient. To make matters worse, the owner seems to abuse his authority by charging a steep €50 fee for anyone who slightly misses his narrow check-in window — treating it as though it’s no big deal. His dismissive comment, “You had the whole day to arrive,” was particularly unprofessional and uncalled for. If he invested even half the energy he puts into enforcing his house rules into maintaining the property, the place might actually be clean. Unfortunately, it was not — the accommodation was noticeably unkempt and far below expectations. Overall, I cannot recommend this property. Between the poor communication, lack of empathy, and questionable cleanliness, the experience was far from pleasant.
• Rami (9/5): - חדר גדול הצוות מקסים חלון עם נוף להרים אבל יש גג פשוט פשוט מדהים עם נוף עוצר נשימה שימו לב רק לעונות החמות סיוט להגיע לחדר, סך הכל 147 מדרגות ועוד עליה תלולה, את זה לא מספרים בבוקינג, אז עצה ידידותית אם אתם מחליטים לקחת את החדר השתמשו בשירות של הסבלים
• W (4/5): - Casa Mao was a big disappointment. The hotel is far up the mountain, requiring around 140 steep steps to reach — not clearly mentioned when booking. We had to pay €30 each way for a luggage handler, and on departure, the receptionist sent our bags down early without telling us there’d be an extra €20 charge. In total, we spent €80 extra just for luggage. Service was unwelcoming. No free water (every other hotel we stayed at provided some), and they charge €1.50 per bottle. On check-out day, staff banged on our door at 8:30 a.m. and again at 9:50, rushing us even though check-out is 10 a.m. The power shuts off when you leave the room, including the fridge, and you’re greeted with a long list of rules at check-in, which sets an unpleasant tone. Between the hidden access issues, extra costs, and rude service, Casa Mao was not worth it. Choose a hotel closer to the port instead.
• Ayala (8/5): Good view. Comfortable rooms. Good help arranging getting there. Stair access. -
• Guerra Salazar (9/5): Buena relación calidad - precio - El servicio del hotel es muy bueno, te guían sobre cómo hacer los tours. Las instalaciones son muy lindas y aseadas. Se escucha el ruido de otras habitaciones por si son sensibles a los ruidos. Adicional, deben tener en cuenta que para llegar son 155 escalones los que hay que subir con maletas.
• john (10/5): - Nice place with a beautiful view from the patio off of our room. Jean Franco was very helpful and accommodating. Quite a few steps to get up to the property from the water
• Lorna (8/5): - It was clean The 160 steps going up to reach the property is not very ideal for seniors and with knee problems
• Travis (10/5): Nice clean room with great terrace views. - Great clean room. The views from the terrace are worth the climb of stairs to the property. Great host and staff.
• Ingvill Hauskevåg (10/5): Perfect location, all the step was just charming. All clean, very helpful and caring host. - Location perfect, near to everything. Evwrything good!
• Chin I (8/5): - Muy amable el personal Muchas escaleras !!
• Beard (9/5): Peaceful stay with a super helpful host - Gianfranco the host was very helpful/his instructional video was very clear to locate property, spacious room and bathroom. Netflix was a nice bonus on television, quiet property but close enough to walk everywhere. Recommended driver was fantastic. Nice views from the property. Be conscious of the steps, but will be fine for anyone who is mobile. Air conditioning could have been more powerful. Floor could have felt slightly cleaner but everything else was spotless.
• Sara (10/5): Estancia en Amalfi de película - La disponibilidad del casero y la modernidad de la habitación
• Martin (7/5): - Dormir en Amalfi es una experiencia muy recomendable. Como la ciudad está en la ladera de la montaña, hay que saber que para llegar al alojamiento hay que subir muchas escaleras. En el puerto ofrecen subirlas a razón de 25 euros por valija. El dueño super atento, siempre a disposición para ayudar. La habitación que nos tocó tiene un traga luz en el techo, pero no tiene ventanas. Las fotos son congruentes con esto, pero no lo habíamos notado. Hay fotos de desayuno en la terraza, pero no ofrecen el servicio.
• Florian (10/5): Great Stay with a helpful and kind Owner - Very clean, modern interior, big room, good location with a great view over the town from the roof terrace. Very kind and helpful owner who even pickled us up from the bus station Nothing negative
• 曉霞 (10/5): 這是山城所以大行李相當辛苦，除非你是熱愛健身的猛男，可以雇用搬運，但有點貴要有心理準備。Great Terrance remember to go up to enjoy the view. - Gianfranco is the best. It’s my friend’s first time in Europe, she is very impressed by the hospitality of Italian people, just like Taiwanese back home. Please send thank you to your friend from Napoli as well.
• Barry (9/5): Nice location and great host in Gianfranco - Gianfranco is a great host! Met us after we arrived with our rental car and had folks take our car to a parking garage. Gianfranco even helped carry one of our large luggage suitecase! Gianfranco had many tips and restaurant suggestions and the room was very nice and a good location. 160 steps to go up to the place but expected in Amalfi. Near end of our stay we were just about getting use to then and helps to burn off all the great food we are consuming.
• elisa gomes (8/5): foi boa - o Giancarlo é muito atencioso e pretou informações importantes para nossa chegada, deu todos detalhes e providenciou o transporte das malas a informação relativa a escada que deve subir para chegar na acomodação. São 150 degraus(sim, eu contei) o que dificulta um pouco, pois qualquer saída deve se avaliar o retorno, Qualquer pessoa que tenha problema com mobilidade fica bastante prejudicada, eu, por exemplo, tenho problema no joelho e tive bastante dor após a estadia em função de tanta subida e descida.
• Marina (10/5): - Beautiful room stunning view from Upstairs. Oh and stairs there are a lot but so worth it. Our host was amazing and informative. He was so helpful getting us parking and a boat to hire. I would recommend staying in Casa Mao. Maybe the stairs. But in the end there are stairs everywhere you go in Italy so be prepared.
• Pablo (10/5): Casa Mao, muy buen lugar, mucha tranquilidad - La atención de Gianfranco excelente, siempre atento a tus necesidades. Asesorando de la mejor manera. Siempre con una sonrisa No tengo objeciones, colmo nuestras expectativas, muy bueno
• Carlotta (10/5): Tutto perfetto e Gianfranco super gentile e disponibile - La posizione, l’alloggio e lo staff Niente
• Meehan (9/5): Was a lot of fun - Very accommodating host! Location
