Paola's apartment was very conveniently located. It was near restaurants, bars, cafes and all sorts of stores. The Vatican was an easy 5-10 minute walk away. The Colosseum, various museums, piazzas, etc were all within 1 to 2 miles. I spent 4 days in Rome and was able to walk to most of the major attractions. Basically, this is a great central location and you should be able to walk or get a short taxi ride to any tourist attraction.

The flat itself was fine. There were 3 of us and her couch folded out into a twin bed. Paola provided a fan due to the heat in Rome. The place was clean and in order. I did not have the windows open at night so I did not really have any issues with noise and I'm a very light sleeper. The area seemed safe and we would get back to the apartment usually after mindnight.

Paola was actually out of town when I went, but she was always available by phone and answered any questions I had or took care of any needs or problems that arose. She's very friendly, sweet and helpful.

I'd recommend staying here if you need a place to stay and you plan to be out all day seeing the wonderful local sites.
