Paolo, his brother Claudio and Mum met myself, husband and our children at his apartment as arranged. His family were very welcoming and friendly and showed us around their bright and spacious apartment. The flat was really clean, big and modern. The children had plenty of room and we loved cooking in the kitchen together at night with the balcony door open. It was a very sunny flat with a nice feel. There was a play park out front for the children and the metro A line was really close by. A really good selection of shops and supermarkets were on the doorstep. The area was safe and we felt it gave us a good experience of Italian life. It was really easy to get to the Vatican and central Rome on the underground. Everything we needed like washing powder, loo rolls etc were all provided. There were lots of new bath towels and robes at the apartment. The shower was great too. I would highly recommend Paolo's flat for a trip to Rome.
