Paola's place was a very comfortable mixture of antique furniture and modern appliances and conveniences. The Duomo (must see) is only 5 stops away on line M1. It is easy to get here from the train station also. Paola was an extremely hospitable host and met us in person and gave us the scoop on all the local eateries and we tried most of them and they were really good. We loved it and wish we could have stayed more.
