Paolo's apartment is located in the basement of an apartment complex so is a little dingy with a dank smell due to the lack of ventilation. We found the shower the most annoying thing as the water constantly leaked into the bathroom making the floor continuously wet. The location is good and very close to restaurants, shops and public transport. It was about a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum which was extremely handy. We found the apartment very clean and well equipped, the bed and pillows very comfortable and the kitchen stocked with tea and coffee. Overall we had a comfortable stay. Our host was very accommodating and helpful. There is plenty of tourist information, maps, etc in the apartment. I would recommend this apartment for a short stay in Rome.
