Paola is great and very responsive. Couldn’t ask for more better communication. I really wanted to say there to see the cat but it’s away in holiday with the kids. I must say that I chose Paolas place to not be a part of the hostel arrangement as I like the intimacy of sharing with homeowner Instead of strangers. There were others staying and no Paola.. which is fine and The strangers were cool and respectful of space and privacy. There are no locks on the door which made me reluctant to leave my belongings. Her children are away on holiday so I guess the room opened up. They private estate can be a little noisy with random people but again a minor detail sorted with earplugs. The beach nearby is fantastic and the area is definitely less touristy than town. She went out of her way to find me an iron and generally a great host but didn’t expect to be staying with other strangers which may have swayed my decision to stay elsewhere closer to town if I had known.
