Paola treated me special from the start. I was arriving after the Metro closed, so she arranged a car to pick me up at the airport. Since I had not gotten Eurtos yet, she paid for the car and loaned me €20 so I could buy a metro ticket, start my sight seeing and pay her back after hitting an ATM. No need for me to fret and worry as she made things super easy for me. Run as a B & B, breakfast was offered each day, including extra water in my coffee to counter the concentrated Italian coffee. One block from metro, fruit stand one way, super market on the other corner, and a short walk from Europe's largest park was ideal for me. I like to make my own meals and carry fiber bars and fruit. I needed a break from ruins and 40+ miles of walking places so spent time in the park with nature. Paopla helped with information on Metro stops for different sites and arranged for my Pompeii day out of Rome. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Took in a local weekly market and ate scrumptious Pasta Carbanarra at a local restaurant. Could close the roll down shutters and block out light and noise and sleep as long as I wanted. Enjoyed the special and friendly treatment so much I invited Paola to visit me in the States if she heads my way.
