Didn't have the pleasure of meeting Paolo or Melina but we did have the pleasure of meeting Mira and Lisa who were both very helpful and answered all of our questions about Rome! We had a short trip unfortunately (loved Rome!) so we were barely ever in the apartment, mostly out sightseeing but it's definitely a great place for a couple or single person looking to see Rome. It was very clean overall and a walk to the coliseum. I would definitely stay at the Manzoni Studio again, hope to meet Paolo and Melina next time. Please send my regards to Mira and Lisa!!
