La Paglia is in a great location in Trastevere. The street is small and quiet and about 2 blocks from the Santa Maria square. They have many great reastaurants all within a couple of blocks including the great gelato place Fior di Luna. The "james bond" kitchen was great and the bed was so comfortable. I don't think I've slept so well in a long time. Great use of space. They had everything from dishes to a hairdryer to extra blankets.

The only problem I had with the apartment was the noise - the walls are very thin. I could hear people in the other apartment doing dishes, talking on the phone and watching TV. Most of the noise ended by 10pm and wasn't a big issue. But bring earplugs just in case. But for the price, it was a great deal. (No breakfast and no wi-fi, but there's a cafe 2 blocks down that has free wifi)

We stayed a week split between La Scala and La Paglia. Great locations, both quiet but in the heart of Trastevere and walkable centres for Rome. Plenty of storage and hot water with good water pressure. Invaluable information on arrival which improved our stay, including local restaurants (Roma Sparita is THE place for "Pasta Cacio e Pepe") and shopping, including a cheese / deli which is an event. Staff also booked us a taxis on leaving as our Italian was not up to it, we felt reassured that staff were available for us if we needed them through out our stay.

We stayed for 3 nights at the La Scala apartment and found it to be a perfect fit for myself, husband and 17 year old son. It was clean, comfortable and the perfect location for sight seeing. Trastevere is a trendy, lively neighborhood with restarurants and shops everywhere, yet the apartment was very quiet. We found it to be the best of both worlds and would certainly stay there again when we return to Rome.

We stayed in the studio apartment on La Paglia at the end of September, early Oct 2010. We absolutely loved the area. It's 1 1/2 blocks from tons of restaurants and busy streets but on the block the apartment is located, it's quiet. The bed was super comfy and it was really nice to have the large window/door that opened onto the street. Everyone we met from the rental agency was great and they provided suggestions and tips on where to eat and go. We definitely will be using them next time we are in Rome!
