Paolo's flat was a great home base for exploring Roma. It is located in a very interesting area of trastevere and very close to the river. there are many good restaurants in the area and i definitely would suggest checking out Fish Market which is just around the corner as well as Biscottificio Artigiano Innocenti which is a very authentic old school baker down the street who's cookies rival my grandmothers. another cool spot we found was Twice vintage, just down the street. overall most touristy roman things are accessible by walking. The Vatican takes about 25 minutes and the colosseum takes about the same amount of time. thank you Paolo!
