Our stay at Massimo's apartment couldn't have been better. His communication and effort to make our visit memorable was amazing. The apartment location was perfect for getting anywhere in the city. The air conditioning worked great and provided relief from the stifling hot weather. There was some street noise, which didn't bother us as we are used to city living, but you might take it into consideration. Honestly the location, terrace, and a/c more than make up for the noise if it does bother you. We also had no issue washing our clothes or using the hair dryer and clothes iron amenities. I would highly recommend staying at Massimo's apartment.
