My teenage daughter, her friend, and I had a very nice weeklong stay at Paolo's place. It is a comfortable, tastefully furnished apartment in a convenient location, walking distance to all the major sites of Rome and also to the train station. Formerly an office space in what was once a government ministry building (if I understood correctly), it has just been remodeled into a residential space. It has very high ceilings, nice wood floors, and a little balcony. (It is 3 flights up -- there is an elevator you can use.) Everything is new and clean. The furniture is of high quality. The beds are comfortable. There is plenty of hot water. The kitchen is tiny -- only one person can fit in it at a time -- but functional for making simple meals and storing leftovers. Paolo's assistant Elisabetta gave us many helpful tourism tips and arranged a car service to transport us to and from the airport, which worked out well. The neighborhood felt very safe. It's on a fairly quiet side-street about a block off a major avenue, so it is relatively peaceful and quiet while still convenient to shopping, restaurants, bus lines. We felt very happy with our choice to stay at Paolo's. I would definitely recommend it.
