We were fortunate enough to recently spend 3 nights in Rome and stay at Paola's apartment on the Spanish steps. Literally, on the Spanish steps!! I guess I did not appreciate the true location of the property when I booked the apartment, but it was in a wonderful, vibrant location and central to everywhere we wanted/needed to go during our stay. The apartment itself is very tastefully decorated and spacious, with an upstairs bedroom which was nice, as we were traveling with our kids. The A/C worked fantastically, which was appreciated on the hot summer days. If you are worried about noise because of the proximity to one of the main sights in Rome, fear not! The apartment was actually surprisingly quiet and private. Paola was there to greet us immediately, and show us around. She has an extensive book put together for guests with recommendations for all sorts of meals, sights, etc. In fact, one of the best meals we had during our entire vacation was from a restaurant that Paola had recommended - Babette's. She also arranged private transportation for us back to the airport, which was really appreciated at the end of a long trip. This apartment was a great find for us, and we would not hesitate to book it again!
