When we first arrived in Rome, we called Paolo's friend, Gianluca, who was waiting for us at the apartment. He was very friendly and seemed excited for us to be there. The place was not difficult to find - and Gianluca was waiting for us on the street corner! He walked us into the apartment and, although it was small, it was perfect for what we needed.

The location is WONDERFUL. We were just down the street from the Colosseum, which made for a perfect homebase to explore the City of Love. We were within walking distance from almost everything; but for people who aren't into walking, we were a block away from the metro station.

It is a really small studio. We weren't necessarily expecting that from the photos, but the kitchen/bedroom is all one room, and then there is a bathroom. For us, it was all that we needed, though. We spent most of our days exploring, so it really was just a place to take our afternoon riposo (nap) and to sleep.

We loved our experience with the Manzoni apartment and would definitely stay here again!
