Paolo is a very accomodating host, who clearly goes out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
He's very easy to communicate with, and was there to greet me upon my arrival. The apartment is very clean and simple, exactly as described in the listing. Unfortunately I don't speak Italian, and Paolo doesn't speak great English - but we found a middle ground with Spanish. For anything that needed further clarification, he was ready with google translate. It made communication easy between the two of us.
Once in the apartment, he provided a map of Rome and instructions for the closest tram, supermarket and also restaurant recommendations - there is a really delicious counter serve place across the road that he recommended. The location of the apartment is perfect, it is not so in the city centre that it feels like you are surrounded by tourists, but it is close enough to walk to any of the interesting sites to see (if you like walking.) I walked to the Vatican City, as well as regularly to the city centre. I can't really remark on public transport as I never used it.
He also has a selections of teas and coffees available for his guests, and is clearly very thoughtful and tries to make your stay as comfortable as he possibly can. The wi-fi works and is fast, the apartment feels clean and tidy, and the location is great.
Paolo had new guests coming the day I was checking out, but as my flight was quite late in the evening he allowed me to leave my luggage in his other apartment - which was free at that time. Although that option may not always be available to guests, it was a huge help and stopped me having to carry my heavy suitcase around Rome for the day.
If I come back to Rome, I would definitely stay here again, and would consider coming with a large group and renting the larger apartment next door.
Grazie mille Paolo
