I was able to stay in Mario's place for a month while I volunteered for a local charity. The location was perfect and central to everywhere you could want to be. It was close to bus lines, subways, restaurants, shops and so forth. My family I and enjoyed exploring in the neighborhood. The rental itself is not plush like other apartments in the area. When we first arrived the apartment was very dusty and the shower curtain had mold. We had to ask for it to be re cleaned, in which Mario was happy to comply, but it took a day or 2 just with conflicts in schedules. There were minor issues such as plumbing, electrical, and the ceiling upstairs leaked once or twice. The issues were fixed, however for a vacation rental, I believe it could of been a bit nicer. Lastly, the sofa had a huge rip in it with a cover that did not fit well. Would I stay at Mario's again? Maybe for a couple of days, but for a longer trip I would play a little extra for nicer amenities.
