The lovely Paola was very accommodating & informative yet not invasive. There is a fabulous outdoor market area a fews blocks away, a pizza place across the street (very good and not expensive) and a cafe next door to that. The kitchen in the apartment is small but usable (2 burner stove, not much counter space, 1/2 fridge). Bring your own washcloths - only towels provided. Easy public transportation access. If you need to arrange airport transportation Paola may be able to get you a better deal than a taxi - check with her on that (ahead of time!)
