My husband, 12-yr old daughter and I really loved the location of Paola’s apartment. We really enjoyed living on Piazza San Lorenzo. Everything is within walking distance, including a local supermarket.
Paola is a very kind host who helped book our car from the airport and also to the train station. She was kind to allow us to arrive early (we did pay a little extra for this convenience, but it was reasonable). Also, Paola made sure the pullout couch was made into a cozy bed for my jet-lagged daughter upon arrival. Paula coordinated with our driver and met us as soon as we arrived. She helped us with our luggage up the two flights of stairs, but we really didn’t find the stairs an issue at all.
Paola left us with a wonderful booklet filled with restaurant recommendations and other important information, which we found very helpful. She showed us a map of the area and took time to point out the sights.
We only had one issue: For those traveling during the warmer months, please make sure to ask for the remote control to the air conditioning unit when you arrive. We were not handed the remote control upon our arrival and it was stored in a locked chest. Paola had to come back to the apartment to give it to us. At night we closed the windows to quiet the noise from the piazza and the sea gulls, and used the AC to cool the apartment. Please note that there is only one air conditioning unit in the apartment and it is in the living room. Our daughter slept well on the pull-out couch in the living room, but my husband and I were a little warm in the bedroom. Opening the bedroom windows at night was not an option because the noise from the sea gulls would wake us up. The beds are comfortable, on a positive note.
Overall, we had a positive experience because the location of Paola’s apartment was superb.
Thank you, Paola, for your kind help during our visit.
