Staying in Mario's is an experience on its own as Mario has decorated the aprtment so well and he is a man of many many talents. The place is lovely with a very experienced host. Mario gave us so much privacy, we almost had the whole place to ourselves, but he was always available when we needed him. The apartment is just a 5min walk to the metro and has many shops around it. I highly recommend staying with Mario. It is very good value.
