The apartment was perfect. They layout was nice, with the bedrooms and baths tucked down a hallway away from the central area. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was well appointed and stocked with everything needed to cook at home; all the appliances worked properly; it was immaculately clean; the neighborhood was quiet; the location was close to public transportation and a grocery store. Marino was a wonderful host and has thought of everything. In addition to providing a bottle of wine, coffee & cream, fresh fruit and snacks - all completely unexpected - he must have been a high end hotelier in a former life because he eliminated all guest anxiety abut running out of things by an abundance of supplies such as toilet paper, tissue, towels, blankets, extra adapters, etc. Marino's complete fluency in English and his prompt response to all our questions and concerns made communication easy and all of his restaurant recommendations and general advice were spot on. The apartment was immaculately clean. The whole experience was lovely.
