Alessandro's apartment was clean with thoughtful touches like a bowl full of pastries, nespresso maker, a bottle of wine, juice, milk and tea. He even left detailed information about some public transport options, stores, local restaurants, and even a small recipe book! We tried one of his restaurant recommendations and it did not dissapoint!! I now understand dissapointed Italian grandmothers in America when they try Italian food in the states. We used the washer a couple times and since there was no dryer we just used the clothes drying rack provided and placed it near the living room window. Communication was great and he really wanted to make sure things were going well for us. Bed was on the firm side but nothing that would keep us from a good night's sleep The area is mainly locals but not a far walk from Vatican City at all. Far enough from the hustle and bustle on the other side of the river. All in all I would totally stay here again and recommend others as well! Thanks again Alessandro!
