Paolo’s place was lovely! Very cute decor, a wonderful location, and Paolo was a consummate host, giving us very helpful information and checking in to see if we needed anything after we got settled. Do prepare yourself for a lot of stairs to get to the apartment! From the lower street I’d estimate you walk up about three floors before arriving at the grotto landing, and then there are another four flights up to the apartment itself, so if you’ve been walking all day — and it’s Rome, so you will have been — just tell your legs it’s gonna be okay and it’s totally worth it!
