Mauro's place is very central, it is about 10 to 15 minutes walk from major sites and train station. However the street seems a little bit quieter, so for a single lady it was a bit creepy walking home at night. Otherwise safe neighbourhood.
The room looked swept and the sheets were new however the tables were a bit dusty.
The powerepoints were also very old so my adapter didn't fit in.
Overall Mauro us a very nice guest, there was no elevator so he helped me up his 2 flights of stairs to get to the apartment.
