We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Paolo's apartment, which is just as described. The view is wonderful and we loved the quietness of Guidecca, appreciated after a busy day's sightseeing. Paolo was a very attentive host (although we didn't actually meet!) we had regular emails and any questions I asked were answered promptly. Check in was very easy and it was no problem to stay in the apartment until we were ready to leave on our checkout day. There is a marvelous bakery for breakfast a few doors away which had amazing croissants and plenty of restaurants close by. I can highly recommend a cocktail at the Hilton Skybar, not cheap but the view at sunset is worth it!
