When I walked up from the nearby San Pietro train station to Paola's place I was really impressed. I found myself in a real home, cozy, pleasant, modern, cool, artsy, happy and well equipped. And the host herself is a fantastic person, she welcomed me with a lot of friendliness and warmth. Not only I got the tour of the house and the courtyard, but Paola also handed over a large brochure containing important and very useful info about how to get around the neighborhood and in the city, where to eat, where to shop, also some useful tips, phone numbers. The host also left a special phone from which in case of emergency one can call for help using a local number. The cherry on the top of the cake was a bottle of cold white wine, my favorite, as a personal gift and the great coffee selection... The apartment is perfect for vacation stay but also fully equipped for a long term rental. The neighborhood is another plus, quiet, safe, upscale, but also very close to the very popular Trastevere, just steps away from the famous Belvedere Gianicolo from which I took wonderful panoramas of the Città Eterna. Downtown Rome, Lazio and even Vatican is in walking distance. There are buses (the bus stop is just around the corner) if you prefer to take public transport to downtown (I suggest you to use apps to purchase day passes or tickets like Cicero or NUGO).
And after the long walks in the city it will always be a pleasure to come home to your home away from home to cool down, relax and start it over later. I would recommend Paola's Gianicolo Living apartments for anyone ready to experience the way of life as a Roman.
