This sweet studio is the perfect place to use as a base for sightseeing in the area. You can walk to downtown Paia where you'll find great food at affordable prices in restaurants and a wonderful health food store called Mana. There's lots of little shops selling all sorts of wonderful treats and things.
The studio is clean and bright, and Manolo, the host, is nice, informative, and accommodating. He answers emails promptly. I will be returning to Paia and will most certainly stay there again. One caveat: there's no air conditioning, so if you need it to sleep, book a hotel room.
