If you are considering staying in Rome by yourself, absolutely book this room. Paola bent over backwards to accommodate me, allowing me to check in earlier than anticipated and giving me a very warm welcome. Her cheery attitude and home were a refreshing delight after the tourist crowds every day. The neighbourhood is full of interesting restaurants and bars, but feels very residential/safe. Coming back to the terrace at the end of a long day of walking felt like having a personal refuge.
