Mario's apartment is just absolutely lovely. Very clean, such a good use of space, and super comfortable. The shower was absolutely delightful - hot with great water pressure.
The neighborhood was convenient to get to from the train station, very close to the metro, and walking distance to the port, which is why we chose it. Easy walking to anywhere you need to go, and great food and shopping. But it is a bustling and noisy neighborhood, very charming, but ear plugs help. It's also a bit bright with neighbor's lights shining through. I slept fine, but perhaps tougher for a light sleeper.
