first let me say this: Paolo was a great host. communicated well and responded quickly. the place could be difficult to find but he makes it easy, providing photos to get to your destination. the place is nice and quiet and very clean. the other great thing about the location is that it is 3 minutes from a water taxi and 7 minutes from the Santa Lucia train station. also, every morning when you exit you will be greeted with delicious bakery smells. I will definitely be staying here when I come back!
