Mario's apartment was located in a very convenient location. There were several parking garages near the apartment, and to make things easier, we were given a recommendation on the closest place to park. Unfortunately since we were running late, Mario was not able to meet us in person. However, his friend met us and checked us in. He gave us lots of great recommendations. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It didn't bother us, but be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs. I definitely recommend staying in Mario's apartment while visiting this beautiful little city!
