First of all the location and the owner are both amazing. You will walk everywhere! Trains, buses, city, restaurants, shops, groceries, you will be near it all.
Massimo is a wealth of information about the area and best restaurants too!
We rented a car for half of the time to visit Cinque Terre, Sienna, Voltera and San Gimingnano but can get there by train or bus too.
Massimo is very quick to respond to any needs, The house was immaculate and we loved our stay VERY MUCH
