Paolo is a consummate host who is attentive, resourceful and a great local resource. He advised taking the bus from the train station, to save the huge climb up the hill, and gave me advice on baggage storage! (There is storage at the hotel across the bus station)
As for the airbnb, I recommend light sleepers bring ear plugs or white noise machine; there is little sound insulation so you can hear cars, recycling truck and pedestrians passing by on the main road. The bed is a bit on the firmer side but I’ve noticed that is the norm in Italy. All said, the location is incredibly central (6 min walk to the bus station) and has beautiful views of the balcony. Thank you Paolo!!
