We absolutely LOVED Paolo's place. For us this was the perfect place to explore many many areas of Rome. The apartment was in a quiet residential area, and right below was a park and Gelato. Right near the river walk along the River Tiber which I highly recommend using to avoid the tourist crowds and walk peacefully in the city from neighborhood to neighborhood. This was at the same Metro stop as the Vatican so a very good location, about 10 mins walk. Clean and had everything needed, great bathroom, towels, breakfast. We can't recommend this place enough and suggested it to all our friends. a peaceful retreat for us in Rome still centrally located but away from tourist traps and crowds.
