We had a great stay at Maurizio's place! First, due to some unforeseen travel complications, we ended up showing up much later than anticipated. Maurizio changed his plans and met us at the apartment without a complaint. Secondly, the apartment is in a great area. It is very close to the the center of town, yet a few blocks away so it's much quieter and in a neighborhood where the locals live.
The apartment itself was very clean and well maintained. For those of you that use Airbnb often, you know that sometimes you rent homes that people actually live in and other times, you rent homes that are only used for rentals. Maurizio's place is a rental, which is what we prefer. Certainly it is nice to rent a home that someone lives in because it's very authentic and cozy, but sometimes the rentals are better suited for Airbnb renters. This apartment had luggage stands, irons, coffee machine, etc. We were very happy with the cleanliness and the amenities (such as fast wifi) that were present.
