Mauro’s flat was perfect. It was out of the touristy area, quieter, but still walkable to main sites. We had a wonderful time walking and exploring! The area is safe; my mother and I felt comfortable walking alone even in the evenings. The flat is also very close to a variety of restaurants, cafes, and a market. When we first arrived via train, they greeted us at the station and guided us to the flat. It was a wonderful warm welcome! On the waterbus, they told us a little about the city and what to see. They also provided recommendations on restaurants and were available if we had any questions, which was very helpful. I would definitely reccommend Mauro’s!
