Mario's place is better than advertised. The location is super central and a stones throw from the park(s) and a variety of great restaurants and coffeeshops. You can tell immediately his home is his sanctuary and the morning light feels amazing from the balcony where his urban garden invites singing birds for your Disney moment. The room had everything I needed to WFH with, a comfortable desk area and lots of natural light. I spent a majority of the week working from the apartment and Mario was exactly as everyone else has described - warm, welcoming, helpful and respectful of your privacy. He was often out of the apartment and his two dogs weren't around as much as I would have liked :'( . But when we were all there, it was nice to comfortably hang out and talk about the city, travels and more. Mario is a lovely human to get to know if you choose. If not, at least get his local recommendations and rest knowing you'll feel completely at home (and safe) at his. I’ve already recommended his place to friends and am planning my next trip. :)
