From the moment we arrived at Paola's spacious two bedroom apartment - actually from before we arrived -Paola did everything in her power to make us feel welcome . She was literally waiting at the curb as the car from the airport pulled up (a car she arranged for us) and wastes no time escorting up to her beautiful apartment.

During our stay she was just an email away, and literally answered questions moments after we clicked send. She left treats for us in the apartment, gave us maps and recommendations on restaurants, tourist sites, museums and more. When we left, she met us at the apetment, called us a taxi and escorted us right to the curb where we had met a too few days before.

The apartment itself is large - spacious rooms with high ceilings and all the modern conveniences. The two enormous bedrooms are air conditioned, which you want in Rome in the summer. The kitchen is fully functional and the bathroom is perfect.

We hope to visit Paola again soon!
