Alvise is an absolutely fantastic host. We were traveling with a group of 5 adults and 3 very young children, and as often happens, we ran into significant delays on our way to Rome. Even though we arrived well after our planned meeting time and late at night, Alvise was very accommodating and met our group at the house and gave us a quick run through of everything we needed to know about the apartment, the surrounding neighborhood, how best to travel around the city, suggestions for places to eat, as well as recommendations for how to best get back to the airport after our 4 day stay was concluded. Additionally, Alvise had a foldable crib ready for our 8 month old in our bedroom for our arrival, which demonstrates how thoughtful our host was.

The location of the apartment itself was fantastic. We were about a 15 minute walk from the Colosseum, which was the highlight of our visit to Rome. There were multiple nice restaurants and shops within walking distance, along with grocery stores. The latter was important for us, as eating every meal out with three young children would have been very difficult. We managed to cook at least 1-2 meals a day in the house, and it was a very nice experience because the kitchen was very large and well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, etc. All the finishes to the apartment were first rate as well, and customized to perfection. The bathrooms were very modern, the closets and rooms were very spacious, and the living room was perfect for both hanging out and planning our day trips through the city.

This apartment is an absolute gem. If it were a suite in a hotel, you'd be paying at least a thousand dollars per night. We were very fortunate to find this quality home, and when we take a group trip back to Rome in the coming years, if this apartment is available, we'd be fools not to book our stay there again.
