When we first arrived in Rome, we had some trouble communicating with the taxi driver regarding directions so we called Alberto. He answered our call right away and talked to the taxi driver on the phone and was able to communicate where we needed to go. When we arrived at our destination, Alberto was waiting for us outside the building and helped us carry our suitcases up to his apartment using the very cool old-style elevator. Alberto and Marialetizia are very warm and friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and got us everything we needed. After getting settled in, they welcomed us to Rome with a glass of wine while taking in the gorgeous view from their vista terrace. We had a pleasant chat with them and their two wonderful kids. The apartment was as clean as a 5 star hotel room. There were a bottle of champagne, a bottle of water as well as a bowl of fruit in the fridge. Also at our disposal was a kettle to use for the coffee and tea that was provided in the room. The bed was big and comfy, and the shower was very nice. The room and bathroom has been newly furnished so everything is brand new. We had our coffee on the balcony every morning, breathing fresh air and enjoying the awesome view before setting out to explore Rome. The location is fantastic and it was very easy to get around on foot or by train. A lot of attractions are within walking distance from the apartment. Alberto provided us with a 'recommendation list' for restaurants and shops in the area that came in very handy as we explored the neighborhood. We felt very grateful for finding this apartment and the best part was meeting their lovely family. We highly recommend their apartment. When we come back to Rome we will definitely hope to stay at your place. Thank you Alberto and Marialetizia for everything and your hospitality.
