One week before my trip, I reached out to Paolo via email to confirm that all was okay and to arrange the check in. After two days of no response, I gave him a call and he was very friendly and attentive. I only mention this because some people (like me) feel a little uneasy about travel plans when things are not nailed down and an unresponsive host does not inspire confidence. That said, after the call, Paolo was good about emailing address details and confirmation of the meeting time.

The property itself was as stated in the description. It was clean, comfortable, and extremely well located if you’re interested in being very central to Rome’s major sites. The neighbourhood was calm and great for an early evening walk. If sleep is important, this is a perfect choice because there is no noise except for the seagulls.

Things to note…the apartment is on the top floor (5th if I remember correctly) which involves a climb of a number of steep steps. The internet is super slow if that is important to you. Finally, the bedroom is open air so if privacy is necessary, you’ll get none here.

Would I choose this apartment again when in Rome? Quite likely, yes. The quiet and pleasant neighbourhood was extremely nice. The location was perfect. The apartment was very comfortable and pleasant.
