Paola definitely made us feel welcome. I felt that I did not get enough time (probably 10-15 minutes) introducing ourselves and getting settled in to get an overview of the neighborhood and get some tips. We were tired from our trip and I think she understood we needed some time to ourselves. Paola was very kind and her apartment is cozy. She had treats for us and even her own homemade lemon marmalade! I The space is small (cozy) but four of us fit comfortably. If you sleep in the bedroom, it is very noisy even until 3-4 AM because of the cars and scooters, but we came prepared with ear plugs and we slept fine after that. If you sleep in the living room futon, you won't hear the noise. Overall, it was a smart pick to stay here and I could recommend it to others.
