Cultural Tip
In Italian, ‘piacere’ is an impersonal verb, so the thing that pleases (the stay) is the grammatical subject and the person who likes it is expressed with an indirect object pronoun. Also, ‘soggiorno’ can mean ‘living room’ in a house, so make sure the context is clear that you’re talking about a temporary stay.
