Me and my friend stayed at Paolo's place for a long weekend and we were positively surprised (compare to the pictures) with the apartment. I don't think the pictures gives the fair view of the apartment. The apartment was very beautiful and had enough space. It was also clean and very cosy, specially with the terrace, where you had a view of one part of the city. The location was really good and close to bars and restaurants. The apartment is near Puerta de Sol, it can't get more central than this. However, Paolo is also a very nice and helpful person. There was no problem with checking in and out, since I arrived very late at night. I would highly recommend this apartment and Paolo as host.
