Paola was a great host and was so kind to let us check in very late after a delayed flight. She waited up to let us in and was extremely gracious even though it was very late. The apartment was as described in the photos, and we found it very suitable for our needs. The location couldn't be much better, with a bus stop right outside the door, and the Marina metro station 1 block away. There are several shops and mini markets nearby, and the beach is about a 15 minute walk. Our only small concerns were that the shower is quite small (although good water pressure), and the bed was a bit firm for our tastes. Otherwise, We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Paola's flat.
