Mauro made us feel extremely welcome. His communication prior to our arrival was excellent. Mauro's home is exactly as described in a very convenient, safe area. The room is spacious and the bed comfortable. It is decorated tastefully in the Edwardian style, very clean and tidy.It was great to be able to have a continental breakfast before we left in the morning. Mauro provided off the street parking and the tram stop was right outside the door. Mauro's maps and information were excellent. We went to a show in the city and back by tram ...very easy. It is only a short way to the Preston market which was great to visit. We loved the fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Thanks Mauro, we hope to be back to stay again in the future.
