Maurizio's place was in a great location, right across the street from the cable cars down to Isola Bella and a short walk to Porto Messina. We were originally a group of 5 adults and one infant, which is why this unit made sense. Unfortunately, two adults were unable to come, but I am glad we had the whole place. the downstairs apartment smelled too much of mildew and dampness for anyone to stay there, so my daughter and our infant grandbaby had to stay upstairs with us. I'm not sure what we would have done if the others were able to come. Overall, we had a nice stay and if the smell issue is addressed in the downstairs unit, we would definitely come back. The terrace, although we didn't use it much, was amazing with plenty of space and seating if you are traveling with a larger party.
