The place was very clean upon arrival. Paola had a friend come and meet us and gave a tons and tons of information of Rome. You have to pay for extra towels and linens. If you can't sleep with sound from outside then don't choose this place. The walls were so thin you can hear the neighbors, people coming in and out of the front door, people walking by all the time. During our stay we had a family with two very young children beside us and we could hear them a lot. Closest attraction was colosseum, which was about a 30 min walk. The studio is located in the university area. We were about a 5-10 min walk from the bus. Bus tickets are also bought at the newspaper stand, not on the bus itself. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Only problem was how much sound from outside you could hear.
