Paolo's loft is awesome. It was tastefully decorated, had all the necessary amenities, and was a fun spot to come home to for 9 nights.
The location is centrally located and is a 15 minute walk to the train station. We took day trips to Venice, Parma, Milan, and Florence. A 15 minute walk will take you anywhere you want in the city.
The bed is on the firmer side and if you are a light sleeper, I recommend bringing earplugs as the place is located underneath a bustling wine bar.
Check-in was painless and Paolo recommended spots to check out and helped us book a taxi back to the airport.
