Mauro is a very kind and helpful person. He allowed me to check in early so that I could drop my bags off and he helped me lug my giant 23K suitcase up the flight of stairs. He also talked to someone on the phone for me as I wanted to confirm that an event was happening but I don't speak Italian. The bed was really comfortable and I had everything I needed including access to a blow dryer and kitchen use. I was worried that sharing a bath would be a problem but it was always available when I needed it and it seemed like anyone else hardly even used it. The apartment is just a few minutes walk to the Duomo. There's a great wine bar down at the corner where you can get fantastic food and drinks for a very reasonable prices.
