We really enjoyed our time in Rome, and our stay at Julie and Alessandro's place made it even more perfect! Communication with Alessandro was easy, and he met us down the street from the apartment and walked with us the remainder of the way. The location was great for exploring Rome - definitely a bit of a walk (20-30 minutes) to reach the historical sights, but it was nice to be outside of some of the madness surrounding touristy areas. On the way "home" each night we would either dine in or grab drinks in Trastevere. The hosts provided some good dining recommendations (we loved Da Enzo!), and were very helpful in providing taxi information when we got stuck in a storm 30 minutes walking distance from the house! If we didn't feel like walking to the sights, we could easily hop on a bus, as there are several lines that stop very close to the apartment. Thanks again for a great stay, Julie and Alessandro! We hope your place is available when we return to Rome!
