Alessandro was a very gracious host. The check in was very easy, It is a nice place a comfortable bed and living area. Strangely, it was the only place we could charge our cell phones and Ipad with no problems. Everywhere else we had problems charging them. The neighborhood is beautiful and so close to everything. Everywhere is beautiful and walkable. The night life is noisy but as we love walking everywhere we figured it was the cost of staying in the lovely Trastevere. We loved Rome , the Vatican and the food at Augusto's.
