i highly recommend this apartment! it was super, just as described. it appears recently renovated and it was incredibly clean. we stayed at paola's apartment for four nights and did not have to take public transit once--it is that central. the stairs were not an issue for us nor for our 5-year-old.

paola is a polished host. she made us feel very welcome by offering in advance to arrange our car transfer from the airport, which we gladly accepted. she met us at the apartment (which she had supplied with coffee, juice, milk, bread, etc.), showed us around, and then gave us a tourist map and a brief introduction to some of the major sights nearby. paola generously allowed us to have a late check-out as she didn't have guests arriving the day we left.

we had an immensely pleasant stay at paola's apartment, and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
