Paola was an excellent host and warmly welcomed us into her home on arrival. She patiently took the time to acquaint us on the facilities provided as well as the vicinity which was quite central with the Metro station, a bakery, cafe, specialty food store, a butcher shop/market and even an excellent restaurant all within a short 5-10 min walk.

Paola was also a generous host, with a fresh fruit basket (among other goodies) waiting on our arrival. The kitchen was also well stocked, to include not only the usual staples but some specialty items (such as truffle oil) as well.

While the actual unit seemed a little smaller than what the pictures suggest, it was adequate and was tastefully decorated. The automatic timed shutoff feature of the lights in the living areas and kitchen took some getting used to but Paola provided non-timed lamps that acted as backup lighting. The water temperature at the showers would also slightly fluctuate but it was not exceptionally uncomfortable.

All in all, an excellent deal and Paola was a more than gracious host. We have accordingly advised our friends who are planning to visit early next year to consider booking with her as well.
