Paola's guest house was exactly as described and was perfect for what we needed. The bathroom and the room were super clean. Paola provided great local recommendations and even invited us to go see one of her musician friends play at a local restaurant (unfortunately it was the day that we flew out so we had to miss it). She was extremely helpful when we needed some help printing off some tickets. We were able to use the back yard to enjoy an evening outdoors as well. Paola's place is located in a quieter neighbourhood just outside central Rome. We felt completely safe the time we were there and it was only a 10-minute walk to the Porta Furba metro station and then another 20-25mins metro ride to the main tourist areas of Rome. Would rebook with Paola in a heartbeat the next time we visit Rome.
