Paola's apartment is well-equipped and comfortable. We were there in the hot summer and her A/C units in every room were a life saver! The bathrooms and kitchen were updated. The Guest Manual was super helpful! Great information on how to use things in the apartment and ideas for enjoying Rome. Because the apartment is near the train station, the surrounding area is definitely "city" but once in the apartment, you don't even notice. It is quiet and safe. Highly recommend.
