Paola was awesome! I told her what time my flight was going to arrive and she told me exactly how to get to her house from the airport, including the train times and cost and then what metro line to use and which stop to get off on. And she told me that whenever I arrived at her house that she would be waiting.

When I first got to her house she made me a cup of italian coffee and a snack (both were greatly needed, and the coffee was amazing). I had my own room and my own bathroom. She gives you your own key to the house so you can come and go. She gives you maps for Rome and tells you how to get where you are going. She also puts out breakfast for you in the morning with more itialian coffee =).

All around it was a great experience and Paola is a great host. I will definitely stay with her again whenever I am in Rome
