Aside for the water problem that we had throughout our stay, we loved Paola's apartment! It was a good walking distance to and from the termini station which will get you anywhere. But honestly if you want to experience Rome better, try walking and getting lost! You'll be hitting all the popular and not-so-popular tourist sites without even noticing it until you see it. Tip for the water problem: be resourceful and put aside water when you can. It bothered us at the beginning but Paola's apartment was such a good find to give it up! :)
