A few days before we arrived, I read the previous review of a guest who stayed at Paola's apartment the week prior. They had complained about the shower being "adequate for one person," (who complains about a shower only being adequate for one person??), the space being cramped, and the metal chairs being uncomfortable. I was a bit nervous after reading that review, but all of that went away when we arrived.
THE SPACE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Okay, so there's a small staircase you have to climb with your luggage only ONCE, but after that, everything else is golden. What you come home to is a spectacular 360 degree view of Rome, a stunning terrance with not one, but TWO lovely seating areas, an outdoor shower, a washing machine, an indoor shower (yes, for only one person LOL!) with fantastic water pressure. The iron works great, the internet works perfectly and Paola even sets you up with a personal driver to pick you up from the airport!
The location couldn't be better. Minutes to the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, a 20 minute walk to Saint Peter's, not to mention all the wonderful food options you have only moments from your door.
If this was a hotel, consider this apartment to be the penthouse suite. Who cares if the kitchen is small?! Are you in Rome to enjoy your own cooking?!??! Who cares if the couch is tiny??! Are you in Rome to sit on a couch in a hotel room!?!?
This apartment is the perfect launch pad for anyone who wants to truly enjoy the splendors of the city and all the amazing views it has to offer. We will absolutely return. Thank you again, Paola!!
