We didn't meet Paolo ourselves but his brother Stafeno came to meet us at the train station and took us to the apartment (about 10 minutes walk). Stafeno speaks excellent English and gave us many recommendations and was very helpful during our stay. Make sure you try the steakhouse and pizza place he recommends, you must go to the pizza place (10 minutes walk) for lunch. It's 5.50 Euro and they give you a personalized pizza plus a beer (try the Merotti Rossa, great tasting beer, not serve everywhere).
We visited Paris, Firenze, Venezia and Roma and I must say, Paolo and Stafeno, you're my number one choice.
Great job! Ciao Stafeno!
