Paolo met us in person giving our driver (which he arranged, as there was a strike of public transportation on the day of our arrival) directions. Paolo also provided maps and instructions for public transportation and recommended things to do.

The Manzoni subway station is within a short walk, the Colosseum about 20min walk, and there's a wonderful trattoria across the street.

The apartment is stylish but still cozy, has everything you need. As it is half basement, there is no view, and perhaps a little lack of light, but we were out exploring the city all day, so no worries. Probably nice during the hot summer months.
