Perfect Apartment
We enjoyed our stay at Paola's apartment for many reasons. Paola is very helpful and responsive. She ensured our stay was comfortable and stress free. The apartment is very roomy, incredibly quiet, and well stocked. The location is perfect for walking to everything in Rome. The neighborhood has everything a visitor needs. I would stay again if I ever visited Rome and will recommend the apartment to others that have plans to visit. Thanks Paola!
Highly Recommended
My husband and I stayed here for four nights in September. The apartment, which is exactly as shown in the photos, is very clean and comfortable and has everything you could need during your stay.
Paola is a great host and provided us with lots of very helpful information regarding Rome and the local area both before we arrived and when we met her on the day we arrived.
The apartment is located within easy walking distance of all the main attractions and there are lots of great restaurants nearby and a daily market. We eat at Bucatino twice and found the food very good and reasonably priced.
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and will definitely stay here the next time we visit Rome.
Beautiful, comfortable & clean. Highly recommend.
Beautiful apartment. It has everything would need. Great location to sight seeing all within walking distance. Also, very close to bus, tram & metro. Grocery store, deli, bakery and restaurant all within a block. Paola spend time with us on our arrival to explain on a map how to get to all attractions and told us what bus/tram/metro to take to get there if we didn't want to walk. Then Paola took us for a walk in the neighbourhood pointing out grocery store, deli, bakery, restaurants. Thank you Paola, you made our trip amazing !
Thanks a million for such a nice and sincere appreciation!! You are always welcome.
Warm regards, Paola
Wonderful area with great apartment!
Paola met us promptly at the apartment and provided extensive details on the apartment, Testaccio, and Rome. The apartment is quiet and well furnished. We loved the market, restaurants and bars. You can walk to the majority of the Roman sites. Thank you Paola for your hospitality!
Many, many thanks for your appreciation! :) It has been a real pleasure hosting you. I'm happy you loved my neighborhood, yes indeed Testaccio it is a nice area for living. Whenever you like to come back you are always welcome!! Warm regards, Paola
Very clean and great location.
Paola was a great a host and was very helpful and informative. The apartment had all the necessities needed. The only missfoutine was elevator from 4th floor did not operate on the day we left. Had to carry suitcases from 4 floor down.
First of all I want to thank you for such a nice and kind appreciation. In regard to the elevator: if I have well understood what you told me it was not working the night BEFORE your departure, as you may remind the day of departure we were altogheter and the elevator was working; probably in the harry you have forgotten that my husband helped you taking out the luggages.
I'm sorry that for 1 night over 20 nights of stay, someone has left the door open and tthe elevator was occasionally not working, as you surely understand this not my fault. Anyway: the apartment is located at the second not the 4th floor! I hope to have you again as my dear guests having appreciated your kindness and politness. Warm regards, Paola & Massimo
Anbefales
Paola er en omsorgsfuld vært, kvarteret meget autentisk, og lejligheden er velindrettet.
Beliggenheden giver fine muligheder for at opsøge såvel det mere turistede som det mere landlige.
Tak! Thanks so much! Danke!! You are always welcome. Kind regards, Paola
