Paola's place was nicely decorated, even left a few bits and pieces for breakfast for the first morning. We arrived at the airport very late so we organised a private pick up with her which was perfect, she was very accommodating! always responded to messages promptly. The apartment itself has everything you need. It is away from the tourist area so you feel more like a local and its a bit quieter. There was even a folder in the apartment that had plenty of suggestions of things to do in Rome and also nice local restaurants. The metro station Cipro is about a 10-minute walk or you can catch a couple of different buses into town.
