The glowing reviews are all true and well deserved Alessandro is a very caring host. He apologises for his English which is actually very good. The apartment is lovely, spacious and stylish but homely so you feel like a true 'local' for the duration. The location is great and the shopkeepers are very helpful and friendly. The area is well served by public transport but we just walked because Rome is that sort of place - so much to see. We followed all Alessandro's suggestions for site seeing and restaurants which is really useful when time is limited and you want to avoid the obvious tourist places. A week is too short a time so we will be back one day! Thank you so much Alessandro.
