My girlfriend and I loved our stay at Paolo's! The area (Garbatella) is really great - it has got a character of its own, and it was a pleasure to see really great architecture, grafiti, as well as orange and palm trees on our way to the metro station (only 10 min walk away from the appartment). The place is very central - just a couple metro stations from the Colosseum. Another wonderful thing about the area is that there are a couple of really great restaraunts / pizzerias just a few minutes away from where we lived. The appartment itself is great - looks precisely as we imagined it. A very nice friend of Paolo's met us at the metro station when we first arrived, gave us loads of truly useful tips and was very responsive throughout our stay whenever we needed any help, like finding out where the best gelateria in Rome is or where we can get our boarding passes printed. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Rome very much and we would definitely recommend booking with Paolo!
