Paolo's place is located in a beautiful suburb on the outskirts of Rome. We had a lovely stay, and truly felt as if we were living in Garbatella, rather than just two tourists. His home is nice, and well equipped, and the bed is SO COMFORTABLE for when you want to just relax after a long day of walking in Rome. There are some great restaurants nearby, a few that are just along the road! I would recommend coming back to eat here after you do all your sightseeing, as the prices in Garbatella are great as well! If you stay there on a weekend, we recommend you go to the farmers market nearby. There's a place that does panini for 3€ (great for a filling breakfast) and there you'll find the best cheese I've ever tasted. There's also a bakery nearby that is sort of hidden in the basement of a building. If you spot it, they also do a great breakfast! If you need wifi, most of the restaurants nearby have it, just make sure to ask :) It is a bit of a walk from the metro station to the apartment, with a bit of uphill as well, so keep that in mind. There is a bus stop nearby that will get you to the Colloseum, so you could always just use that.
