You really can't beat Paola's place. The location is so central that you can stop by for a rest between tourist destinations. The house has tons of character, is quite large, and always has someone around to liven it up. The terrace is an amazing way to rest while still appreciating Rome. What really makes this a great place to stay is Paola herself. Of my 7 hosts across Italy she was by far the best! Very attentive, communicative, and available, but never picky or overbearing. She really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home, give you some real Italian culture, and get to know you. She even "reserved" the bathroom for me the morning I flew out so I wouldn't be delayed. As with many city homes, if you are a sensitive sleeper then earplugs will be helpful to you. You won't regret booking with Paola!
