We had a mostly great and positive experience here! The place is exactly as pictured. Paolo was super accommodating when our flight times changed, and still met us even though it was pouring rain out. He even provided a bottle of wine since it was our honeymoon! Everything was in good working condition and the place is a nice size. The location, convenience-wise, was great as it's right by Rome's main train station - easy to catch the metro or train to get around.

The only downside was that the area is quite noisy - there are lots of shops and restaurants on the ground floors all around the neighborhood, and those are open late and early. There was also construction going on nearby while we were there, so overall just a high noise level that the building's windows don't really do anything to dull.

Also, there is no elevator (yet! Paolo said there are plans to put one in) so there are a lot of stairs to get up to the apartment. Not a deal breaker, just something to be mindful of with luggage.

Overall, though, this was a great place to start our trip through Italy!
