I stayed in Mauro's place for four nights. The plus is that he was very flexible with check-in and check-out, met me on the street because I was a bit lost and even helpd me carry the suitcase up the stairs (it's a 3 flights up apt). Overall he was very reachable through WhatsApp during my stay, but I only saw him for check-in and check-out. The room is exactly what is shown in the picture, even though it's a futton, the bed is very comfortable. There is no lock in the bedroom and neither in the bathroom and there is somebody else living in the apartment who I was not introduced to, so one day arriving at the apartment I saw a stranger and did not feel very secure, besides I had all my personal belongings in an unlocked room. The apartment is near the major A line of subway, there are restaurants around and a market. The street is noisy so bring earplugs. As said by other guests, the bathroom could be a bit better. But overall it was a nice stay.
