Mauro's father Giuliano and his wife received me when I first arrived and gave an ample explanation of the amenities at the apartment. Giuliano was very attentive to my comfort and my needs. In the course of my stay, i had issues with the dog on the apartment above the one I was staying in, as you could literally hear the dog run and her claws scratch against the ceiling. He took it up immediately with the owner of the dog and on multiple occasions until he stopped. A very welcoming and warm person and I felt taken care of.
The apartment is close not as close to the center as I had thought or anticipated (it is a 20-30 min walk). It is however also close to a very good small spa (at the bottom of the building) a supermarket, a small park, so it feels quite homey and nice. The wifi is excellent and the apartment is spacious. The sofa turns into a very comfortable bed if you have visitors (and in fact I slept on it much of the last week I was there), because it was more comfortable than the bed. Also, Giuliano arranged for domestic help to come and clean the apartment whenever i needed it, and Udesh (the man who came to do the cleaning) did a marvelous and thorough job.
So overall it was a great experience and would recommend it again
