We had a great time at Maurizio’s apartment, made all the more enjoyable by our hosts every effort to be at his guests disposal and help in any way he can.
We stayed as a family of two groups of adults and baby - three generations, visiting for a few nights. Maurizio picked us up from the station and dropped us off at the airport for a fair price. I’m not sure how we would have found the apartment had he not have been with us, so that’s something to consider.
The location simply cannot be beaten. You look out from the balconies towards the Duomo, and step outside the apartment into the middle of the market. It is possibly the most central position you can get.
Maurizio ensured we had a cot for our baby, and when he had trouble sleeping in the mornings because of how bright the bedroom was, he came by to hang an extra set of curtains to make the bedroom darker. When the gas bottle ran out in the kitchen, he arranged for a friend to come and change it within the hour. Nothing was too much.
The facilities in the apartment are more than adequate for a family, and its quite spacious also. Some of the cookware and crockery will probably suit only basic culinary excursions so bear that in mind if you intend to take advantage of the proximity to the market and cook.
Again, a big thank you to Maurizio, he was engaging, energetic and someone we thoroughly enjoyed meeting. Grazie mille!
