Paola ordered a cab to pick me up at the airport and welcomed me at the door when I arrived. She had a bottle of prosecco and nibbles waiting in the spotless kitchen! Paola graciously acquainted me with the lovely and verdant Monteverde neighborhood. The apartment is across the street from Doria Pamphili, the city's oldest public park. The apartment itself is a penthouse suite flanked by two gorgeous patios. There is a window in every room and the apartment is flooded with daylight. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and lovely. I absolutely loved it here. It felt like home. Paola was warm, gracious and generous with her time. Anyone who stays here will experience the perfect Roman sanctuary accessible by bus and tram to the city centre. Grazie mille, Paola!
