Mauro is an outstanding host! I booked this trip as a last minute bid to help with my mental health after months of pandemic lock down. Mauro offered reassurance with my concerns and was very patient while I decided whether to book or not. He was immediate responsive on Airbnb and then later, once booked and confirmed, via WhatsApp. The trip was also to celebrate my daughter's 23rd birthday and we were touched that he had chocolates and Cava as a gift to her. He allowed us to check in early and drop our bags off and took the time to walk around the neighbourhood with me showing me local places to eat, where the grocery stores were (and their opening hours) as well as pointing out where the metro stops were. His flat is extremely well located not just in terms of public transport but also in terms of walking everywhere. The flat itself is gorgeous and clean with plenty of space. There were three of us and I allocated the whole back of the flat to my daughter and her girlfriend. There was SO much room that sometimes I had to check if they were still in! My only bit of advice is that if you are a light sleeper, you should take one of the bedrooms in the back or bring ear plugs. I slept in the bedroom at the front of the flat and the traffic noise starts around 6am. It's nothing too terrible - just the sound of cars and motorcycles - but I am a very light sleeper.
This was the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. The best host and the nicest property by miles and it's set an extremely high bar. You can book this property in full confidence that everything is as it appears in the photos and that Mauro fully deserves his Super Host status. Thank you again, Mauro!
