We had a fantastic time at Paolo's apartment over New Year's. The location is brilliant and was perfect for getting around, with the city centre only a 5 minute walk away. The apartment was also very clean and well-equipped, with a fully operational heater (which was VERY appreciated in the dead of winter), plenty of towels & decent cooking equipment (which was great for those days where we couldn't afford to go out for a meal). Unfortunately, there isn't an oven in the kitchen, but that wasn't too much of a problem for us.
We were greeted by Paolo upon arriving, who very kindly provided us with a bottle of Italian wine, as well as maps of the city and contact information in case we needed him. Furthermore, on New Year's Eve, he sent us a comprehensive email with all the big public events running throughout the night, which was also very helpful and appreciated.
Overall, we found this apartment to be a fantastic place for the two of us to stay for a week. While the apartment isn't particularly big and is lacking in features such as an oven, it's brilliant location and great value for money more then made up for it.
Thank you, Paolo!
