Maurizio's apartment is good value for its location, right next to the Metro Line B that takes you downtown in minutes. The neighborhood has a gritty air to it but it's quite pretty, and the main street has good food options. I was rather unlucky with the apartment itself: neither I nor Maurizio could get the oven to work (stove works fine), and if you look in the pictures, you'll see there are a couple of shelves oddly placed above the head of the bed, which were generally unnerving and led to a couple painful head knocks (especially with the very low bedside tables). The hot water heater provides for a 5-10 minute hot shower. Great wifi.
