I had a great time at Massimo's place and would stay again in a heartbeat. I have a preference for authentic places with a local feel, and in that sense this place was really wonderful. The neighbourhood has a genuine local feel to it if that's also what you go for. The apartment itself has very spacious rooms, a ton of natural light, a narrow balcony where one can soak up the winter sun (in my case), and a feel-at-home kitchen. One has several vantage points and the views from the various windows are truly excellent. I also love the mix of dishes, cups, coffee makers, etc. as well as all of the fantastic family photos — these are little things, but in my opinion it's things like this that make the place so authentic. I immediately felt at home here. I only interacted with Massimo and his partner briefly, but could tell immediately that they're warm-hearted and caring people.
