Paulo's place is terrific. The apartment is clean and spacious, and Paulo's family is friendly and helpful. Our kids played with their son, and Paulo gave us super helpful advice about getting around, restaurants, etc. Upon arrival, he emailed us documents with lots of information about everything we needed to know. Cold drinks were available in the fridge when we arrived, which was a great refresher. The breakfast is the best we've had so far in Italy (toast, yogurt, cereal, coffee, eggs, bacon, juice, cheese, and much more!). And Paulo even let us borrow a car seat, which we were planning to purchase during our time in Rome -- talk about hospitality! A couple of minor things to keep in mind, though they were not a problem for us: breakfast is just Monday-Friday (but there are plenty of nearby options for breakfast), and the internet connection is turned off from around 12:30am until the morning. Overall, this was a great experience, and we really enjoyed our time in Rome. We highly recommend Paulo's place if you are looking for a more personal experience than a hotel.
