Paola's apartment on the via Coronari is an advertisement for Italian style. The slate tiles in the bathroom, in particular, were so well done we wanted to import her workmen to the US. The rest of the apartment was also well furnished, well laid out, and very well lit (a very pleasant surprise for those of us accustomed to rather dark European apartments). Paola was a great host, greeting us on arrival, bidding us goodbye on our departure, and calling a taxi for us on what we feared would be a difficult search for one on New Year's Day. Finally, the location couldn't be beat on an interesting but quiet (no cars) street 5 minutes from the Piazza Navona and just across the bridge from the Castel Sant'Angelo.
