Paola is a great host! We took the boat from the airport to the drop off location where she met us. She took us to her apartment which was a short walking distance. It's a basic tiny apartment that serves its short stay purpose. It's quiet and local. If you don't mind walking then you're in the right place. Getting to San Marcos and Rialto bridge is a good 20 minute walk and a good 45 minute if you're meandering without a map...lol. The only tiny issue was the tiny bathroom. The toilet is right up against the shower--hard even for a 5'4 petite female. If you visit in the summer do not plan on getting all dolled up as there is no AC unit except for the one in the room which is okay if you embrace the humidity.
