Maurizio's apartment is in an amazing location, but my stay there was a bit disappointing. We had a communication mishap upon arrival, as he was not there to greet us at the agreed upon time, and was unpleasant over the phone. We eventually solved the issue, though, by leaving our bags with his nextdoor neighbor, and Maurizio kindly took them to our room later that night. He was very friendly throughout the rest of our stay and recommended a few good restaurants.

I have some words of caution though: the room is incredibly hot in the summer (no A/C and tiny window, so even with a fan, it's hotter than anywhere else in the apartment), one out of every two times I showered there was no hot water, the apartment is on the 4th floor of a walk-up and the room is up a very narrow flight of stairs so if you have heavy suitcases be prepared!

I would not recommend it in the hot summer months, but it's probably good in the fall and winter. Hope this helps!
