Paola saved our whole vacation! Our other accommodations turned out to be horrible, and I searched for a last minute place to stay. I had two small children, alone, and without a place to stay in Rome at 10 at night! Paola swooped in and opened her home to us, making my whole vacation fantastic. The apartment is spacious, the beds are comfortable, the shower is luxurious! The decor is gorgeous and I spent an evening sipping wine, marveling at the wooden beam ceilings and the gorgeous architecture! The kitchen was perfect for us, and stocked with milk, tea, coffee, bread, pasta...so much extra! We washed clothes and dried them, which was perfect for my family. Paola had maps and guide books, and spent time explaining how to get to each monument and giving suggestions. She is an amazing host, and the apartment is in the PERFECT spot. Five minute walk to the Castel San Angelo, and then another 10 to the Vatican. Bus to the coliseum and Trevi and all were easy and cheap. Everything about staying with Paola was just amazing. I cannot say enough great things about her and her place! Thank you SO MUCH Paola, and we will DEFINITELY be staying at one of her properties (she has other ones, too) again!
