La Terrazza di Paola San Giovanni

We enjoyed the stay.

Great apartment with lots of space. Adriano, who checked us in, was wonderful!

We had a great time in Rome. This property, its size and view was perfect for us. It was not in the main touristic area of Rome, buy with a 5-minute walk to the metro it was perfect for us, and the price was much lower than we would have paid in the core of Rome. Great value, lots of vintage trinkets in the house to discover, terrace was fantastic and AC was very appreciated during those very hot days!

When I travel, I usually choose an apartment because I like to feel at home while I’m away. This apartment was fine overall, but it felt more like a museum, filled with ornate vintage furniture and numerous signs listing house rules. I felt a bit uncomfortable, especially after being asked to pay a damage deposit without being shown an inventory list. It gave the impression that guests shouldn’t touch anything. If the property contains so many delicate, old items, it might not be ideal as a holiday rental. The kitchen oven wasn’t working, and I was advised to use the microwave with a grill instead. However, that’s not very practical, as it’s difficult to cook larger meals or a pizza that way. The apartment isn’t in central Rome, but the metro station is about a 10-minute walk away, which is convenient. It has three bedrooms , only the single room had a wardrobe, while the other two had chests of drawers, most of which were locked, so we had to keep our clothes in our suitcases. In the main bathroom, the door key was missing, and there was low water pressure in the second shower. The terrace was pleasant but could use some maintenance, ithere were ants nesting in one of the pots. The property is also located right next to a train track, so it can be quite noisy at night. The apartment felt a bit dusty, probably due to the many rugs and wooden floors. Overall, it’s not a place that would suit everyone, but we still enjoyed our two-night stay.
