Mauro and Marli were amazing hosts! They are a perfect mixture of welcoming/engaging, and yet giving us space. The directions and maps created by Mauro were very specific and helpful. The apartment was beautiful and sparkling clean! We felt very safe in the neighborhood, even at night. Marli got up early to prepare us a tasty breakfast every morning, and then we enjoyed our coffee on the cute balcony. They went above and beyond our expectations: Mauro insisted on carrying our luggage up the stairs, and Marli--well she's so bubbly and fun, and delightfully crazy! We enjoyed a glass of wine at the local bars around the corner both evenings we were there, and felt safe walking home. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience here...they are perfect hosts!
