Paolo's apartment is as lovely as the pictures portray. It was very clean and stylish and had a cute kitchen with a light breakfast provided. The street below is a bit noisy at night with the window open, and the walk is a far but doable if you like walking (We do). The building has an antique elevator which was very fun to use, and a cheap and delicious gelateria right below the apartment. I did not meet Paolo, but he left plenty of recommendations for various restaurants and price ranges. Would stay again.
