My three daughters, husband and 78-year-old father-in-law spent a blissful 6 days at Paulo's place. It surpassed our expectations. Paulo opened the door to our taxi, carried our luggage to the apartment, gave us great recommendations for restaurants, transportation options, sites to see and left us with a detailed map of Rome. You really feel like you have a friend in Rome when you meet Paulo. He is very quick to respond to texts\emails\phone calls and also goes above and beyond what is required to make your stay in Rome enjoyable. The apartment is in a lovely building in a vibrant neighborhood steps away from the Colosseum, a grocery store, lots of restaurants and cafes, two subways stations and multiple bus stops. There's a TV in each room, a fully-stocked kitchen, lots of towels and linens, dishwasher, washing machine, drying rack, iron, and two beautiful bathrooms complete with towel rack heaters. We felt like we were staying in a luxury hotel which we really appreciated when collapsing on our beds after a day in Herculaneum and Pompeii or walking home from Vatican City (which is a beautiful hour-long walk). We cooked a few meals at home and had everything we needed. In fact, I miss that beautiful kitchen. Mine at home just doesn't compare. Thank you so much, Paulo. You're the perfect host!
