Description Paparazzi: Roma

Simply put, Paparazzi is stylish, well-kept and right in the middle of Rome. Domenico is incredibly attentive as a host, and always ready to help, and while there are a few issues that we found, the majority were unavoidable given the age and positioning of the building (fairly slow wi-fi, for example), and the positives far outweigh the negatives. The apartment has been redone recently and you can really tell, particularly in the bathrooms, which feel very modern and sleek.

Home truths:
*The apartment's in a narrow alleyway, so it doesn't get much natural light
*Not every bed has a bedside table
*When we visited there were a few of signs of carelessness – a couple of bulbs had gone and the sugar was in an open packet
*There's no lift in the building, so be ready to haul your bags up the stairs
*Not all windows close fully – expect to hear some street noise from below
*We think the kitchen could be stocked with more crockery and utensils
