We were due to arrive slightly before Paolo ended work but he arranged for his mother to welcome us at the apartment, which was much appreciated in the wintery cold! His mother was lovely and Paolo came shortly after and left perfect instructions and introduction to the apartment. WIFI worked great and we found good entertainment in his cable tv. Amenities such as toiletries, hairdryer, towels, etc, were all provided and plenty of extra blankets for warmth. The bed and sofa were extremely comfortable and cutlery & crockery were all available. We were extremely happy at having a kitchen to be able to cook some of our meals! Paolo was a cheerful and was a great host in all aspects with recommendations, directions, as well as the whole process from pre-booking till the actual stay. A few steps away from his apartment are a large supermarket and some cafes with equally cheerful and friendly servers and staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and having a home away from home. This sums up our very first Airbnb experience and would definitely recommend Paolo's apartment for everyone!
p.s. Grazie Paolo, for the cereals, milk and juice you gave us in the fridge :)
