I had a lovely stay at Paola’s little place in Monteverde, Rome. The studio apartment was very comfortable and clean, a perfectly arranged space with lots of thoughtful details such as a sewing kit. I really enjoyed staying in a less touristy neighbourhood that is also a great base for exploring all around Rome thanks to good bus and tram links a couple of minutes’ walk away. There are nice, friendly places to eat nearby (the pizza place at the top of the road was great, and there was a cute cafe in the park by the bus stop that I didn’t get to try that looked like a lovely place for a coffee or glass of wine) and it takes about 15 minutes to get to more lively Trastevere. I’d be very happy to stay here again when I next have the opportunity to visit Rome. Paola is a superb and very helpful host. Grazie mille Paola!
