We chose Paola's place primarily for its location. It is a 5 minute walk from the Roma Termini train station (Rome's main train station to which one arrives from Rome airport). Since we were making rail trips to Naples and Florence, this was especially convenient. The area was very multicultural. The Mercato Centrale (a sort of food court) was close by. The apartment, in an old building served by an antique elevator, has recently been refurbished. So, it was entirely modern within. The bedrooms were airconditioned, which was most welcome in the Roman summer. The bathrooms were spotless. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils. We usually took the metro to most of our sightseeing destinations. There were two metro stations within a short walk. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Paola's again.
