Paola was very nice and welcoming. The apartment was just as she described, although the photos make it look slightly larger. This didn't matter as the apartment was lovely. It was classy and clean, and in a good location. Only a 10 min walk to Popolo Piazza (& Metro) and a couple of minutes from the trams. Across the road is a small unassuming pizzeria with fantastic pizza. Around the corner is another good restaurant.
The only negative side of our stay was the music venue (Rome Philharmonic) which backed onto the apartment, had open air parties every night until about 2 am. This meant we couldn't sleep until 2 am each night as it was very, very loud. It really coloured our
stay in an otherwise lovely apartment.
