Maria & Paolo were great hosts. Paolo checked in with me prior to my arrival to ensure that he would meet me at the property to show me around and let us in. The location was perfect within walking distance to the metro which takes you anywhere in Rome. As far as resturants and things close by there were a few shops but it is more of a residential neighborhood so if you are looking for a more lively nighttime atmosphere this may not be the place. The house itself was great and worked well for us. Would definitely stay here again.
