Paola was a wonderful host. I was jet lagged, exhausted and arrived later than anticipated, but wasn’t able to send or receive messages. Thankfully, she waited for me and was incredibly gracious and kind despite having been delayed. Her home was tidy and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat. I was traveling solo for the first time ever, and Paola’s friendliness and hospitality definitely helped quell my anxieties. If you have the opportunity to book her place, I highly recommend doing so. I would absolutely opt to stay with her any time I’m in Rome.
