Paola's is a really lovely apartment with easy access to all the sights of Rome We could easily walk to all the main attractions of the Vatican city, Castel Sant Angelo, the Coliseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. We did walk quite a few miles during our week! The apartment is set back from the street. You enter through a secure door, then a short alley and up a few steps to the front door. This does keep it quieter from the busy weekend streets with lovely restaurants and gelato shops nearby....there is a fantastic ice cream shop just next door! There is also a choice of mini-markets nearby...we found a nice one just a short walk away, across the the Ponte Sisto bridge over the river. There were often street musicians in the Piazza Trilussa...even a full orchestra one afternoon!
The breakfast provisions were a really nice touch. The layout of the apartment was great and so clean. Everything was easy to find and operate. There are sufficient cups, plates and cutlery. The kettle boiled quickly on the hob for a nice cup of tea. Communication with Paola was easy through Airbnb and by text messages. We had not visited Rome before and particularly appreciated the information on the taxis from the airport and the arrangements Paola made for us to take us back for our flight home. It made our stay very easy.
We really enjoyed our visit to Rome and our stay at Paola's.
