We had a very pleasant stay in Paolo's apartment! Paolo is a very kind and hospitable host. He gave us very good instructions and advice about both the apartment and the neighborhood.

The apartment appeared to be recently renovated, with very modern features and amenities. It was very bright and inviting, and is the perfect size for couples or two friends traveling together. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped with cooking utensils, and we had some very enjoyable dinners at the apartment with fresh meat and produce from the nearby market. The apartment also has great wifi, a television, appliances, and ample storage space. The only thing of note is that the bathroom is a combined shower and water closet, so the floor of the bathroom is wet for 2-3 hours after showering. We did not find this to be a major problem, however, and it did not affect the quality of our stay.

We can not stress enough the perfect location of this apartment. It was only a 15 minute walk from the train station, a 5 minute walk from the Duomo, and a 10 minute walk from the Mercato Centrale and all the other sights you would want to visit. Within 2 blocks of the apartment are several bars, restaurants and a full grocery store, with equal amounts of tourists, students, and locals. Despite this, the apartment itself is located on a quiet block and is very peaceful in the evening and at night. We highly recommend visiting the Mercato Centrale for fresh meats, pasta, and produce (and wine!!) and cooking dinner at least once during your visit.

We would definitely stay here again!
