Maurizio was nice, but there were some issues we had during our stay. He didn't give us directions to his place-I thought he had and only realized when we were at the train station. Luckily we had traveled to Rome before and knew a taxi would cost around 10 euros (and not the 25 one driver insisted). But I can certainly see this being a problem for first time travellers. When we arrived, Maurizio buzzed us into the building, but then didn't come down to meet us which would have been fine if he had been in his apartment. He wasn't. We ended up having to knock on random doors to try to find out where he was - not the best way to start your stay. The apartment wasn't as clean as we had hoped (granted we might have been spoiled by our recent stay in an impeccable apartment in Venice). But, having said that, we would recommend the place, especially for a longer stay as it is a very good size with a decent kitchen, living room and bathroom. But we suggest bringing your own bath towels (the ones provided were very tired).
