Paolo's Ladder is beautifully decorated and so peaceful. We loved having morning coffee on the deck with the sun coming up. Perfect for a weekend hide-out. However, we rated it 3 out of 5 stars due to the following:
1) The bed is on a home-made wood frame with no box-spring and very uncomfortable - when one person moves, the whole thing pops/shakes
2) A key to lock the front door was not provided (there is a front gate though)
3) No window screens allowing in bugs and spiders
4) The place needs a bit of a deep clean - main surfaces/areas were good, but we noticed many of the fixtures were caked in dust and there were spider webs in several corners
5) Parking, as called out by Lydia, is really only good for one vehicle per unit - but it should be emphasized that it will be VERY difficult for larger vehicles to turn around - it was difficult in a mid-size sedan
All this said, we much appreciated her hospitality and the ability to sneak away for a few days. Thank you.
