The neighbourhood is gorgeous and the place was modern and clean. We appreciated the quality fridge and dishwasher in particular. Not to say the kitchen was without fault: it only had the bare minimum pots, pans, and cutlery. Bring your own knives and cutting boards. Thankfully we went camping on the way down to Italy, so we had some cooking supplies in the car.
The interior had a great taste, with only the lighting being a nitpick. Given the good location and recent renovation this place is amazing value, even for a basement. It really was a comfortable place to come back home to after a day exploring Rome.
Paolo comes across as kind but is not the best communicator, sometimes leaving things to the last minute or not being very clear. He always came through in the end though. We would definitely recommend this stay to a friend.
