Every glowing review you read about Alessandra and her flat is spot on. I honestly only tried AirBnB because of a Delta promotion, and picked Alessandra's place because it was beautiful, located well and having such a highly rated English speaking host seemed like a good bet. We were overwhelmed by how wonderful Alessandra was. She met us early at the flat so we could drop our bags and explore Roma without the burden of luggage. She poured Espresso and told us the history of the square and her flat and then had drawn out the most perfect map of all the places to see if you only have one day in Roma (which sadly was all the time we had). Her map was perfect. The dinner recommendation was amazing, perfect mix of locals and tourists, great food and good prices (she'll even make you a reservation and tell you about the off menu appetizer of Zucchini flowers...try them, they're amazing), and her communication before our trip helped us make all the necessary arrangements to get to the flat AND to our cruise ship in Venice. She was invaluable in our trip and is just the most gracious and sweet person. She's really just passionate about showing you her beloved city, and you can tell. Her flat is also stunning (the pictures speak for themselves on that one) and the location is great. We walked (or took a rented Vespa) everywhere, it's that close.
Grazie mille, Alessandra!
