As a female travelling on my own, I felt very safe staying at Paola’s and taking the ‘bus shuttle’ was easy from the FCO airport. From the bus stop it was less than a 15mins walk to her place. Paola’s place looked like how it did in her pictures and it was a quiet and comfortable place to stay.
Using Google Maps, I was able to walk to all the major sights (Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City and the Pantheon) in less than 30mins so it was economical to stay where Paola’s place is. I did feel more comfortable taking a cab into the Trastevere area for some nightlife though.
I would stay at her place again and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks Paola :)
