Paolo is truly a super host and this is a super place. It checked all our boxes, even ones we didn't know we had (such as, "apartment must have balcony with flowers" — this place has three!). We barely used transit or cabs — this place is so central we walked to everything. And though it's in Trastevere, it's on the quiet side, which, given how popular Trastevere has become, is essential. There's an elevator, AC, WiFi so fast we were able to do remote-work video calls, and two bathrooms. Two supermarkets less than a block away; drop-off laundry service two doors down. Great restaurants up and down the street, cheesemonger, wine shop — everything. But truly, the best part was Paolo. He arranged car service to and from the airport (roughly same price as a cab, but none of the hassle), answered every question we had, and is so enthusiastic about Rome and welcoming visitors he seems born to this work! We can't wait to come back. PS Pictures are accurate, and what seem like random art shots of Rome interspersed are actually Paolo's — he's a photographer, too.
