Staying at Paolo's apartment was a great experience - he made checking in super easy (and was able to accommodate us when we wanted to drop off our luggage early) and made some great recommendations for food nearby.
Only two minor downsides to this place: the bedrooms are connected, meaning that the person in the more private room has to walk through the other bedroom to reach the living room and bathroom, and the walls in the building are thin, meaning I could hear people from the street outside and in the hallway when I was trying to sleep. But neither affected our stay much, and we had a great time. I'd definitely recommend staying here!
