We stayed three nights at Alessia’s place. We did not meet Alessia but we met her partner and he helped us throughout our stay. He provided excellent hospitality. There was a language barrier but google translate did the trick. We had some difficulty with figuring out the metro and Maurizio helped us out.
The apartment is located in a busy neighbourhood that remains lively late into the night (don’t forget your earplugs). There is a bakery and mini market down the street and the Montesanto Metro Station is a 2 minute walk. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The hosts left tea and breakfast pastries which was a nice treat. The stairs are quite narrow so it is hard to get your luggage upstairs. The mattress was quite hard so it was difficult to have a good sleep. It did get cold during the night and Maurizio was quick to provide a heater and extra blankets. The air conditioner/heater down stairs did have a musty smell when we tried to use it which we notified Maurizio about. Overall we had a good stay. Recommend the hosts!
