Paola’s apartment is incredible, a beautiful space in an ancient palazzo. The physical space is lovely, and it has all the amenities you could possibly need, including a well equipped kitchen, multiple espresso makers (!) and a lovely private courtyard. Paola sent her husband to pick us up at the train station, which was great- the apartment is only a few minutes walk from one of the big gates into the walled old city, but the little winding cobblestones streets can be confusing in the dark! She had baked us a tea cake, and stocked the fridge with yogurt and juices, so we woke up to a nice breakfast to go with our coffee. It is only a few minutes walk to the cafes,shops, Basilica, and archeological sites of the Centro Historico.
This was one of the nicest Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in- Paola was a very responsive host, and our pantomime conversations were fun ( she has little English, and we had no Italian- Google Translator did the trick) . Highly recommended.
