The apartment was exactly has it is shown in the photos, no surprises. Mario was very quick to answer any questions I had. Mario himself was not able to greet us when we arrived but another friend of his was there to kindly explain everything to us, including which attractions we must see and suggestions for restaurants in the neighbourhood. As for the location of the apartment, it was perfect in terms of being central and easy to get to from the airport (thanks also to Mario's instructions). I would happily recommend this apt to anyone.
