My partner and I stayed at Massimo's apartment for about two weeks in September 2013. The modern apartment was very clean, comfortable and pleasant. Massimo and his business associate Alesandro were both communicative and responsive the whole time. The apartment is in a quiet and safe neighborhood about a 10-20 minute walk from most major downtown sights. Nearby there's a small grocery as well as pharmacy, restaurants, etc. It was great to have access to laundry (line-dry on balcony), a kitchenette and wi-fi. The only drawback was that the shower was a little awkward to use because it is hand-held, and one can't run both the a/c and the clothes washer at the same time. But ultimately these were minor concerns, and we would definitely recommend staying here, especially for those who appreciate a quiet respite from the downtown activity.
