Paola's place was perfect. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum, and the Colosseo metro station. This allowed us to get anywhere we wanted in the city in less than 25 minutes but most of what we wanted to see was right at our doorstep. Paola was incredibly responsive to our inquiries and gave us a complimentary bottle Chianti. In the mornings there was complimentary coffee and pastries. There was a little bit of nouse from the hallway from the entry door but this didnt bother us much and there was almost no noise from outside. The air conditioning was very much welcome (we're from Canada so despite it being November, we found Italy to be quite warm). I would definitly rent this flat again and would highly recommend it. BTW, if you stay in the area, I would highly recommend Ristorante Pizzeria Luzzi, it was incredibly well priced (6€ for a canneloni dinner) and the food is incredible AND it's down a block and around the corner.
