The apartment was perfect. Paola, met us at the apartment and gave us a tour of the neighborhood and tips on catching taxis, the bus, and using the metro. Paola even took the time to write out directions for me on how to take the metro or bus to get to the borghese gardens.
The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. The apartment is about a 7-10 minute leisurely walk to the metro station, only two stops from the Colosseum metro stop, and I think four stops from Termini if you need to catch the train. The apartment may be in walking distance from attractions, however, because I was with my mother and because the metro was so close we used the metro to get to attractions.
The neighborhood is absolutely perfect as there are wonderful restaurants steps from the apartment. If you are visiting Rome, this apartment is perfect. Thank you again Paola for a wonderful stay in Rome!
