I stayed at Paola's with my 9 year old son. We had a fantastic time. I was in BA for business and vacation, and all was easy with the location of the apartment... shopping, restaurant, laundry service, train, taxis... the apartment is one of the quietest I have ever stayed at, which in BA is amazing. The beds were comfortable, heaters fantastic when necessary, and internet available. Paola was a lovely host, and brought fresh towels, gave recommendations as needed, and responded to all of our needs. She even helped me line up a sitter one evening for my son. I would definitely stay here again. As I visit BA often, it is a good possibility.
