Alessandra made me feel incredibly welcome in her studio apartment. She was of great assistance in my transfer from the airport to the apartment and this was well appreciated after a long overnight flight.
The area of Trastevere is fantastic for visitors to Rome. The area is very walkable and has fantastic cafes and gelaterias (especially on the far side of the Ponte Sisto :-). The area is not necessarily on the beaten tourist path which was ideal for me!
