Paola's place was comfortable and could not have been a better location. A great central neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and markets nearby. It was within walking distance for us to everything we wanted to see in Rome. There are a lot of stairs but we knew that going in and as long as you are reasonably fit, not a problem. And the view was worth the climb!
It was disappointing to find that there was no jacuzzi tub as we expected, only a very small shower. We had chosen it over other listings in the area based on the fact that it had a tub. Paolo met us on arrival and even helped us up the stairs with our bags. He was very welcoming and had cupboards and fridge stocked with some basics we appreciated. Overall a very positive experience, would recommend as long as you don't have your heart set on a tub.
