Mauro is an excellent host and communicates very efficiently even before I arrived with clear instructions on how to get to his place. Mauro was very kind to allow me to drop my bags off ahead of the check in time. His place is in a fantastic location, within easy walking distance to the shopping, dining and tourist precincts so it’s very handy. The room was as described and comfortable and clean. If you have very heavy luggage and don’t have the strength, the narrow staircase leading up to Mauro’s place can be a challenge. I’m sure if you let him know in advance he can arrange to help out. If you’re also 6 feet tall like me, Mauro’s shower cubicle is quite cozy but not impossible. Other than that, it was a lovely stay in a quiet home. Thank you Mauro!
