Paola's place is so gorgeous – in a fantastic location in the heart of Trastavere, and decorated with beautiful antique furniture and detailing (but with a recently updated bathroom – and a truly fantastic shower!) Paola's partner Federico met us on checkin, and we were even able to check in a bit early which was so nice and helpful. The weather was rainy and cold much of the time we were in Rome, but the apartment stayed cosy and warm, and it was lovely to wake up and look out into the laneway each morning. The double bed in the master bedroom is a bit small for two (especially if you’re a taller person) but the sofa bed in the living room is a regular queen size if you need some room to spread out, and was already made up with sheets just in case. I'd definitely recommend Paola's apartment for a couple visiting Rome, and I'd love to come back myself!
