Where to begin! Paola's apartment in Monte Verde is incredible. The terrace alone is worth the stay, but Paola's amazing hospitality seals the deal. I stayed for a month working remotely and really enjoyed staying out of the city center as I have been to Rome a few times before. There are great restaurants all within easy walking distance as well as a number of groceries, a pharmacy, a bank and plenty of cafes and shops. It is also directly across the street from an entrance to Villa Doria Pamphili, the third largest park in Rome. I stayed during the very hot month of July and was happy with how well the aircon cooled the apartment. The kitchen was perfect to make meals and is equipped with everything you need. Enjoying the sunset on the terrace every night was also a highlight. It is easy to get to other areas of Rome on foot (especially during the less hot months); Trastevere is about a 15 minute walk where there is no shortage of things to do and see. There are a number of buses nearby and I also used taxi services to get to some areas. I highly recommend Paola and her apartment; I did not want to leave! Hoping to return some day soon!
