I wasn't expecting much except place to sleep close to the train station while in Rome. Paolo's place was walking distance from the Rome Termini Station and many of the sights, including Colosseum. Upon arrival, Paolo showed us a market right across the street and map of how to get to Colosseum and Vatican City. The 3 rooms were plenty big with one of the room being children's room which my kids loved. Kitchens is stocked with cookware that we used to cook breakfast with things we got from stores across the street. There is a street market right around the corner and many eateries around the area, including a pharmacy. There is an elevator which was nice for lugging luggage up and down. It was a real pleasure staying. Very convenient.
