We loved our stay at Paolo & Pieranna's and have only wonderful things to say about it! First, communication was very easy - the hosts were always very responsive and helpful, and allowed us to check-in earlier than the time listed.
Second, the check-in process was very smooth and enjoyable - directions from the very nearby train station were very easy to follow and Paolo met us outside the apartment. He is an incredibly kind and sweet man. He helped us carry up our bags, gave us a thorough overview of the apartment, including restaurant suggestions, then took us to the cafe downstairs for his favorite - a true Italian macchiato :)
The space was very clean and had excellent amenities, including large towels, a decent-sized hair dryer, outlet converters/adapters, a very comfortable bed, and an espresso machine. It's in a great location - very near the train station and a very walkable distance to anywhere in the city you would want to go. The view from the loft window is also worth every step you climb to get there - incredible! The pictures on the listing are accurate, and I would even say that space is better in person. We would highly recommend a stay at Paolo & Pieranna's!
Note: The space is pretty small (hence being called a "mini" loft), so if you have a lot of large bags or are trying to fit more than 2 people, you may have a tough time. Also, as described, it is up several flights of stairs, so if you struggle with stairs, you may find staying here less enjoyable. Those are the only potential "cons" of this space
