The neighborhood felt very safe, walking distance to great places to eat and things to see. The library and Duomo were beautiful and again within easy walking distance. Paula's flat is lovely. It was clean and comfortable and had absolutely everything you needed to relax and decompress after a day of sight seeing. She provided extras (there was a robe in the closet and toothpaste for those who forget the little things (that made staying in her flat not just a place to leave your bags but a place to relax as part of your vacation! We stayed in four airbnb as we traveled throughout Italy and, while the others were nice and convenient, Paula's was the best. Not only her place but her hospitality in sharing information about the neighborhood and helping us get taxis and having, much appreciated snacks, in her well equipped kitchen was also a huge plus. Thank you, Paula. We will be back.
