Matti was a great host. Place is very spacious and very nice designed. We stayed in his apartment for 7 days. If you are looking for a full of life streets with many restaurants and places to hangout Lavapies is for you otherwise you should find place in other district :-) Certainly it is not a quiet neighborhood. There are restaurants, bars, grocery stores, coffe shops, vine bars and everything is at your fingertips, walk distance to railway station and metro.
