We had a very nice stay with Val and Al despite a couple of initial hiccups. Alessandro is very prompt to respond to any e-mails and inquiries and communicating with him is easy. The house itself is in a lovely location, right in the middle of Rome but it feels like you are in a village with lemon and orange trees, the herb garden and birds chirping. If you have a car it's worth noting that there is no on-site parking. There is street parking but it is often full because the university is right around the corner, so parking can be a challenge. The house has AC that worked really well, mobile WiFi spots and a small kitchen that had enough stuff for some basic cooking.
