Manolo's apartment was great! It is so beautiful and stylishly decorated. There is a lovely patio where you can have your morning tea/coffee and watch the geckos play. Manolo was a delightful host and very responsive to all of our questions. The upstairs bedroom was quiet and the bed was super comfortable. The shower was spacious. The apartment is a short and easy walk from the best of "downtown" Paia. The onsite washer and dryer was incredibly convenient. There is street parking nearby, and it was never a problem to find a spot. No TV, but who needs that in paradise?
