The pictures are far better than it actually is. The building though in a nice area, is pretty decrepit. The flush in the bathroom hardly works, no TP, no paper napkins, laundry in the machine not done, fused bulbs & in the morning the room flooded with water from the portable A/C, the place is not air-conditioned. It's a pretty untidy house. For the price, its should have been tidier and better maintained.

That said, Paolo is a gracious and lovely person and every one in the group found him a pleasure to be around. He made up for the lackings in the apartment.
