Paola is a great host, she is warm & will engage in conversation with guests allowing them to get a feel for Roman people and life in Rome. Her apartment offers a central locale in a very vibrant quarter of Rome, surrounded by food, restaurants & markets. I was late to arrive at the apartment & exhausted after coming all the way from Firenze. Too tired, I was prepared to collapse on my bed without dinner when Paola sent up a bruschetta on Crusty toasted bread - yum! And good quality Italian coffee in the morning to get me started on a big day. Uniquely, Paola apartment hosted a number of travellers while I was there, allowing me to meet up & set out with new friends for recommended food or sights. I highly recommend Paola's lovely apartment.
