Our stay at Paola's apartment was everything we hoped for and more. The location was amazing! The terrace literally looks out over the Spanish steps but, even with that proximity, the apartment was very quiet. The apartment is beautiful and very comfortable. The beds are firm and comfortable, the water pressure in the shower is great and there is plenty of hot water for a nice bath in the master's extra long bathtub! The kitchen is very well outfitted and Paola made sure we knew where everything was. Paola was a wonderful host. She met us at the apartment entrance when we arrived and again when we checked out. She helped us find restaurants and arranged for airport transport for us. She has a terrific three ring binder for guests with everything you could need for your stay in Rome. She also has beautiful books about Rome for guests' reading pleasure. All in all, a totally top-notch stay.
