Paolo's flat is the perfect retreat for someone looking to take in the sights of Rome. It is a short walk to the Vatican and most sites, but is in a quiet area. There are is a caveat that is important to be aware of however. That is the downstairs neighbor. There are rules to adhere to such as not running the washer after 9 and not showering after 10:30. In spite of this we still managed to make him mad on the last night of our stay. He then called Paolo and accused us of using the washing machine, which we were not. Obviously Paolo can not control his neighbor, and we were advised upon arrival that he is somewhat volitile about noise. As three adults we were able to be quiet, but someone with young children may encounter some issues. Ultimately it was a very positive experience, and one that I would recommend to anyone staying in Rome.
