Almost the best trip possible.
Alessandro was very helpful and made sure we could not get lost anywhere in Rome. He picked us up at the train station and showed us everything of interest in the area, including every possible bus or tram station. Although the traffic was really horrible he took the time and made a little sight-seeing tour in Trastevere, a not very touristic but typical italian quarter and showed us a place with a magnificent view over Rome, that we wouldn't have found without his help.
And than of course - time for an espresso.
The apartment is really as beautiful as seen in the pictures! Very clean and comfortable. It's in quite a nice neighborhood and you will find a market with everything you might need during your holidays. We can sincerely recommend Alessandro's favourite restaurants as they are not too expensive but have very tasty and traditional dishes.
If you plan to cook for yourself you should know, there is only one hotplate.
