Paola was such a kind and thoughtful host. She's one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. She spent time with us to help us plan our stay in Rome, and even found special events during our short visit to the city. She stocked the apartment with travel guides and maps in various languages, along with transit information. She also made sure the flat had little things, like coffee, juice, butter, a percolator--so we felt at home in her place. We were able to hit the ground running on the first night and did a lot of sightseeing thanks to her help.

Her apartment is fabulous. The flat is next to Termini, so you only have to walk 5 min to get to the bus station , the train station and the junction station for the metro. This made our daily treks around the city very convenient. Even if you prefer walking the city, it's about 15min walk to the Colosseum. We walked to many destinations directly from the flat just to get a better view of the city.

I was surprised at how nice, clean, spacious and quiet the apartment was. Even though you're 5 minutes walk from the train station, her neighborhood quiet and the flat itself feels very secluded when you are inside. Since we like to wake early and pack in a ton of sightseeing during the day, it was nice to take siestas and have a relaxing, quiet evening to unwind.

I can't say enough nice things about our experience . It surpassed our expectations in every way.
