Paola's place was perfect for our stay in Rome! The location was a 3 minute walk from the Metro, which we used to get to the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Colosseo, train station, and more. Once on the metro, we could arrive at every popular destination within minutes. Paola had a friend meet us at the apartment, so we could have help getting in. They also left us a delicious bottle of wine! Anyway, the night we checked in her friend helped us with some directions and advice on where to go. The entire loft was very clean and comfortable, and located in a safe area. Also, Paola helped us book a tour for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. We were silly and arrived at our tour an hour early...we got frantic because we thought we were late and missed the tour but in fact we had the times wrong in our head. Anyway, at 8am in the morning Paola was right there to assist when we thought we needed her. She responded right away with a screen shot of our tickets and a message reminding us that the tour started at 9:15am rather than 8:15am. We felt stupid, but were super thankful that Paola responded so quickly! The only thing we noticed with our stay was that there were no extra trash bags - or at least if there were any we could not find them. Our check out asked us to remove our trash when we departed, but we had to get creative with throwing things away when we could not find any trash bags other than the ones located inside the trash cans in the bathroom. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We recommend any one who is visiting Rome to stay here!
