Paula is a gracious and charming host, who was very accommodating and helpful to us. Paula is friendly, good-natured, and speaks and understands English well. Our room was comfortable and had adequate space. Closet space was adequate for our one-week stay. The private bathroom is entered from a hallway outside the room. The bathroom is quite nice, and functional, although the shower stall is small. Everything was clean and comfortable. I estimate it is about 1/2 mile to an area with a few restaurants we really enjoyed, and about another 1/2 mile to the train station. Some of our traveling companions had difficulty with the walk. Train and metro into Rome takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the wait for the next train. Avoid morning and afternoon rush hour on the train if at all possible.
