Staying at Paolo's apartment was an amazing experience! It is a few blocks away from the Metro Ottaviano station and there are several bus stops close by. The Vatican is also only a few blocks away! There are many restaurants and convenient stores near the place as well.
The apartment looked exactly like the photos for the listing, and the entire place is air-conditioned! It was a great relief to be in the apartment with the intense heat in Rome. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bathroom was extremely beautiful.
The apartment has recently been furnished and carries everything you will need for a brief/long stay in Rome. However, because it is rented out to many people, some appliances have obviously been "well-used". Carmen, the person caring for the apartment, showed us all the kinks of the apartment and made sure we knew how to operate the appliances. She actually welcomed us into the apartment (we never had the opportunity of meeting Paolo) and made herself available to us whenever we needed help with anything in the apartment. She even went out of her way to fix any small issues we had in the apartment!
To top it all off, Carmen arranged for a personal driver to take us to the airport on a holiday! It was a huge relief for us that we didn't have to worry about it.
We highly recommend this lovely apartment in a very great location in Rome!
