Paolo is a great host and his apartment is a great find in a great location. It is a very nice size for two people and will accommodate a third person easily with its sofa/day bed. The apartment has high celiings and feels spacious and was nice and clean. The S. Ambrogia district in which it is located is a wonderful neighborhood -- a combination of businesses and residences with plenty of restaurants, cafes, book stores, and various shops close by -- as well as a very convenient post office and grocery store. You are no more than a ten minute walk from the center of tourist activity but far enough removed to be feeling more the resident than tourist. (Great for us since we stayed 30 days.) Paolo was a gracious host -- he offered to pick us up and deliver us to the train station. He is friendly, generous, and helpful. Paolo had the apartment well-stocked with appliances, linens, kitchen utensils, etc. (It was the best provisioned apartment we have ever rented -- airbnb and elsewhere.) Paolo even had some food, milk, coffee, fruit, and some other basics all ready on hand to help us get our stay started. I should mention two things though: 1) the apartment is a third floor walk-up with 44 narrow stairs -- there is a handrail and each landing has a light but it could be tough for some people. 2) you are in an urban area so there will be some street noise.

We highly recommend Paolo and this apartment.
