Paolo's place is a great value. 15 minute walk to the Vatican. About 45 minutes walk to the Colosseum ( probably could cut it down to 35 if you needed to) , plus everything in between! You're basically right on the Tiber with a nice little park in between. Gelato and pharmacy right below the room. View of the park from our window. plenty of places to eat all around. A busy intersection, but with the window closed noise was not a problem at all. This is a perfect location if you're a walker. Even the metro station was a quick 5 minute walk for the 10 minute subway to Termini. Highly recommend Paolo's place.
