We absolutely loved our stay at Alice's place. Let\s break it up:

LOCATION
The apartment is perfectly located; it's approx. 15 minutes on foot from the Termini station, so for us there was no need to look for public transport or taxi after we arrived from Ciampino airport. There was only 10 minute walk from the apartment to the Piazza Venezia, which w as the central point of the Rome for us. Also, good and affordable restaurants nearby (in the Monti area).

APARTMENT
Very clean, our room was spacious and had everything we needed. We loved our separate bathroom (very well equipped!) with jacuzzi, we felt like we were at a 5-star hotel at times. The kitchen - not big, but very functional, with all appliances we might need. We absolutely loved the vintage elevator and the building itself - it felt like an elegant, stylish apartment house from the XIX century. We were a bit afraid that the nearby fire-station would be noisy, but nothing like this happened. The WiFi signal was moderate, whenever I needed to gave stronger signal, I preferred to go to the kitchen (where the router is) and work there.

OUR HOST
We didn't get to see Alice much, but we felt her presence :) Every day, there was an espresso maker ready to go on the kitchen table. Alice would leave us some snacks, toasts, she would occasionally fill up our shelf in the fridge... It felt like a very authentic experience, not comparable to getting up in a soul-less hotel for a much higher price. Also, Alice was very helpful - I won't get in too many details, but we had some problems (unrelated to the apartment) and Alice helped us to solve them, for which we are very grateful. Finally, there was no problem in setting the meeting time and getting our keys. To sum up - Alice is very welcoming and her very personality makes this place a catch.
