Our stay in Paia with manolo was really nice experience.
The studio is clean & nicely furnished and you can walk to the center of Paia. Like mentioned in some of the other reviews you can hear the street next to the house but if you are not used to absolut silence you shouldnt have a problem to get plenty of sleep here :-)
Manolo is a very friendly, laid back guy & very helpfull if you need any local information - or if needed as spider hunter in the middle of the night ;-)
Overall a definite recommendation.
