Paola's place wsa super clean and secure. It's about a 20 min walk from the Termini Station in the heart of Rome. Be sure and exit the station towards the SE when heading towards the apartment for the first time;) The Metro has stops in a large X pattern across the city to get within easy walking to many of the sights! Check out 'Cantina Lucifero' off Campo de' Fiori for a fine meal after checking out the Vatican! The plaza itself is quite lively day and night- especially on the weekends. It also boasts a pretty intense history. I would return to this very apartment on my next visit to Roma!
