We stayed in Paolo&Franziska's apartment for a month and had a wonderful experience. The apartment is perfectly located to access all of Rome's sights, in a building with old-world charm/character, but modern conveniences for comfort. The view from the small balcony is quintessential Rome. And surprisingly, there is virtually no city-noise to disturb guests. Paolo's friend Grazia was helpful when we locked ourselves out and needed guidance to reset the hot water heater and internet ... things that happen anywhere during an extended stay. Very responsive to any requests. We hope to return to Rome and will look for Paolo's place for a future visit.
