Massimo was extremely accommodating. He offered to pick us up from the train station in his boat for a price but we opted out and walked following his excellent turn by turn directions. The apartment was in a quite part of Carnneregio despite being close the numerous bars. The apartment was not yet ready when we arrived but we were allowed to enter and leave our bags so that we could venture out. The apartment shows well but upon closer use is in need of repair. The bathroom with the tub leaked all over the floor. The sink of the same bathroom was falling apart from the counter top. The lighting fixtures in the second bathroom were rusted and had wires hanging from the sockets. The electrical outlet in the bedroom off the kitchen didn't work and was not secure. Overall the space was excellent for a large group traveling together.
