We stayed at Alessandro's place for a week. Beautiful apartmernt close to everything. We were there for 5 days and walked to all of the sights in Rome... Everything was within 3 miles from our home away from home and we found many treasures that we would have never seen had we driven. Alex was a great host and provided places to go see and eat where the locals go, escaping the tourist traps. He also arranged transportation to and from the airport which was comperable to what a taxi would have cost, but much nicer. Thank you Alex for a wonderful time in Italy... We will be back!
