We arrived couple hours earlier than the check in time but Paola's daughter arrived with the key a little earlier than the check in time to let us in the apartment. She bought some cookies for us which was sweet, showed us around the apartment. The studio itself is very centrally located, a short walk to Piazza Navona and Pantheon, we were able to walk to almost all the attractions besides Colesseo which was about a half hour walk and we preferred to take a cab instead. Very close to vatican city and St Peter's basilica.The location made it possible for us to actually come back in between during a day of exploring Rome and relax and rest our tired feel a little bit and then get back on with the roaming. The location seemed safe and secure. Lots of shops and restaurants and convenience stores around.
The studio itself was artfully decorated, had everything we needed. the kitchen was well equipped with utensils, cutlery, cups, plates and wine glasses etc. Had a dish washer, microwave, electric hotplate, The bathroom was clean and well designed. The Wi-Fi worked great and the bunk bed on top of the kitchen was actually kinda quirky and cool and comfortable too. Air conditioning worked perfectly which we were a little worried about after experiencing that a lot of places in Italy don't have air conditioning.
Paola was quick to respond all our queries and even helped us arrange airport transfer the day we left Rome. Couldn't be happier with our choice. It is a slightly expensive place but all its comforts made it worth it for us. Thank you.
