Rome was our first stop of our Tuscany cycling trip. Paolo's apartment is cozy and homey, tastefully decorated with a mix of modern and antique wooden furnishings. It has got high ceilings with large windows and balconies looking out into a quiet residential backstreet -- perfect for a sunny morning. Having little idea about Rome neighborhood, we were lucky to have chanced upon Trastevere -- the apartment is quietly tucked minutes away from historical alleyways filled with small caffe's and osteria's. Indeed we ended up walking all the way to the Vatican, thanks to its central location. Last but not the least, Paolo is a friendly host, very responsive to our emails. He and his friend were there personally to greet us on arrival in the morning, who offered many helpful suggestions to restaurants and logistics. Would definitely love to come back!
