Great place in a great location! Walking distance to major attractions, walking distance to subway station Spagna (that has direct line to Termini train station if needed, just a couple of stops). The street is safe and quiet in spite of being in a proximity of a popular fashion shopping area. There are some expected normal street noises, in particular if you keep windows open - October is still warm, and you do not need air conditioner or heater - but nothing obnoxious, rather charming actually. You can not drive on the street (unless you have a special permission I guess, not sure though, but that is what probably makes it quieter). There are some nice small shops and restaurants on the street itself, including mini supermarket carrefour express just about next door (if you forgot something, etc.) - although Paola’s place is equipped with everything or almost everything you might need. Paola’s apartment is nice and spacious, well designed (I liked the seventies touch), large size bathroom as the other reviewers mentioned. It is on the second floor, you need to go up one flight of stairs and no lift, but that was not a big deal for us. Paola is a great host, very responsive and thoughtful. Paola, Thank you so much for you hospitality, for all the tips and little touches, vine, nespresso, etc. - we had a great time in Rome and staying at your place really made it much more special, more like home - Thank you!
