We had high hopes for Paolo’s apartment, and it was even better than we expected! This super stylish, multi-level apartment was located just steps from the imperial forums and a few minutes walk from the colosseum. It is tucked back on a side street with many great Monti bars and restaurants nearby, and didn’t feel overwhelmingly touristy despite its proximity to major sites. The apartment itself had everything we needed and was clean and well decorated - a perfect home base for exploring Rome. We would definitely stay again!
