We never met Paola in person, but her friends Franco and Enrico welcomed us very friendly. The apartment is a nice cosy place, but it's not the most quiet. During the day children are playing football in front of the apartment and at night people are using the piazza in front of the house for parking. (Only on the weekend) The location is great, you can reach everything (Porto, Teatro Bellini, Elephant Fountain etc.) in 10–15 minutes and the neighborhood is very authentic. (Italian chants inclusive).
