Matteo's apartment is really spacious and pleasant. We felt very comfortable there. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathroom is very comfortable. The apartment is in an area which might be considered a little bit rough. The fun part is that it is on the edge of a rather large Chinatown and there are nice Chinese restaurants only a few steps away. But the area also has quite a number of neglected and empty houses and not so successful migrants. I didn't experience any problems and it wouldn't keep me from staying at Matteo's apartment again- but if you want your surroundings to be totally touristic I guess this could make you a little nervous.
