Maurizio's apartment was lovely. The renovation of the apartment was new and modern. The kitchen was great. We had a cook in our group who loved the market just outside the residence. food shops and produce stands were near by. The water taxi was no more than a block and a half away. Our stay was over a holiday weekend and the young people seemed to celebrate near the market area. We were unable to leave windows open at night. Closing the windows did keep out the noise Our stay was great. Apartment was so convenient
