Paola's place was wonderful, and exactly as she described. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and surprisingly spacious. The location could not be better: we walked to every major site (Colloseum, Vatican City, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, and more).
The neighborhood itself is perfect. Right beside the apartment is a quiet, very small piazza, but within a minute's walk there are many shops and eateries. It was quiet at night to be in the middle of the city, but still very convenient. We even had a beautiful dinner across the piazza about 200 feet one evening (per Paola's recommendation.)
All in all, this place was perfect for our first visit to Rome. We would absolutely stay with Paola again.
