Wonderful host. Perfect central location to the main train and bus terminal in rome. Here is a tip if coming in on the train into roma termini: when exiting go to the exits at the very front of the train and take the main exit with all the windows. Head left. I took one of the side exits and got a little lost/confused. Paolas children are nice, her son carried my luggage up all those stairs. It is a lot of stairs but the hallway is wide and the stairs are on the low height and wide sid. Paola tried to provide a great breakfast but im not a large breakfast person and my days were too packed to spend extra time eating breakfast. I did drink the provided beer on the terrace. There is a good take out pizza place a couple blocks down the hill. Very safe neighborhood. I got back from pompeii at 2330 and was perfectly comfortable walking from the train station being alone and female in my 30s. If you dont mind the stairs i would highly recommend this place.
