I loved paola's flat so much i didn't want to leave. Even after 5 days I wasn't tired of the views, so worth the stairs. Her cupboards were well stocked with the necessities for cooking like oil, herbs and spices etc. And good coffee with a good stove top pot. It was lovely to hang out there when our feet hurt from walking all day in Pompei. The flat was an important part of the trip for me and my 17 year old.
