Paola and her place are an absolute gems! I cannot say enough good things. I was enthusiastically greeted by her at the door, and she helped me with my bags. The location was what drew me in immediately (walking distance to Colossuem, Trevi Fountain, galleries, restaurants/bars, bus station and much more), but the authentic Italian interior was the icing on the cake. She had bruschetta ready upon my arrival, a godsend considering I had been traveling for 8 hours, and great recommendations for things to do nearby.
I only spent one night there, but her apartment was really what made my stay wonderful. Room perfect for one, with private stairs up to a lovely terrace overlooking the rooftops of city center where I ended up spending hours at the end of the night and catching the sunrise the next day. When I awoke the next morning she made me an espresso and we had great conversation until I had to make my way back to the airport. The place is wonderful and I would absolutely recommend to anyone trying to get in some great sightseeing and authentic Italian culture! Already trying to plan my next stay!
