Some people rent their vacation homes in the middle of the touristic areas, we usually try to stay in the residential areas that are not too far from the center, yet more representative to the everyday life of the people of the city. Paola's home was a perfect mix of the two: located in a quiet residential area, in a picturesque side street that is literally 5 minutes walking distance to Plaza del popolo, a very nice 30 minutes walk to the Vatican, and a picturesque 30 minutes walk to the Pantheon and plaza Venizia. There were many bars and restaurants in the neighbourhoods, for the days where we didn't feel like going to the crowded center of rome.
The house was very nicely designed with a private bathroom, a tv, and an AC for each one of its 3 bedrooms. Paola was very helpful and responsive to all our inquiries. We had a power outage after a huge thunder storm one day, and we sent her an SMS to ask for her help, and she was in our apartment in less than 10 minutes to fix the issue. She also called a taxi for us on our day of departure and sent us an SMS to say goodbye after we left. Grazie mille Paola, we look forward to stay in your place again the next time we visit Rome.
