The apartment was comfortable with all the conveniences- even a laundry machine and small fridge. Paolo was very kind to get us a crib for our baby. We didn't have a phone to call Paolo when we arrived but a neighbor at the leather jacket shop was really kind to help us out. Mosquitoes quickly became a problem with the window open on summer evenings (no a/c) but one evening we found a mosquito net for the window in a drawer-- make sure to put it up if you see one single mosquito! The location is great, right near the Central Market where you can buy delicious fresh pasta and sauce for easy cheap dinners in your apartment. Wonderful!
