Paolo’s place is a great apartment on the 5th floor of a 7 storey block.
Positives:
Location to the Colloseum is amazing, you can see it from the entrance to the block and it’s no more than a 5-7 minute walk.
The apartment is located great for Transport Links.
It is on a bus and tram route (Tram no.3) and comfortable walking distance from Manzoni and Colosseum stations for Metro.
I would highly recommend using Google Maps (transport feature) when navigating and you can by a 1,3 or 7 day travel pass for all transport for very reasonable prices. No car required.
From the apartment there is a cycle hire shop (I did not use) within 400m, and numerous scooter hire shops nearby!
Great area for restaurants, and Carrafore express supermarket is near to Colloseum for essentials. Also a fresh fruit and fish mini market on back street en route so plenty of fresh culinary ingredients close by.
Apartment uses a 4 ring gas hob and electric oven. Air Con in all rooms and radiators.
Two small bathrooms with showers all modern, clean and water drinkable!
We were very warm throughout our February stay.
Paolo himself is a gent! Expects a lot of detail to start but this is so your stay is flawless on arrival! Great communication, met us at the apartment and showed us in. Paolo did a walk and talk of the apartment (even took our cases) and provided a map and A4 binder with all local information.
Paolo was available by WhatsApp or text throughout our stay and when I asked for a few extra cooking items had them delivered within a few hours!
The block felt safe and secure and the area is nice. There is a small lift that services the apartments, which was in full working order throughout our stay, however if it ever broke, it would be a difficult walk if you have any health issues.
I really cannot recommend Paolo’s place highly enough, we had seven people (2 kids) and we had plenty of room!
Book it, you will not be disappointed!
