We had a great stay in the apartment hosted by Paolo and Alice. This is a spacious apartment in a charming building near the Mercato Trionfale, an impressive market with fresh ingredients and great people. Alice had a basket of fruits, snacks and wine waiting for us, together with the basic cooking utensils and pans.
During our long stay there were couple of blown fuses due to an extraordinarily hot summer (and high use of AC all over Rome), and with a quick call, Alice and her father would arrive at the apartment within a short period to fix the problem. They provided us with Internet access when the router had no reception in the bedroom and at one point replaced the dishwasher. They had to return a few times when the delivery guys misconnected the machine and there was a leak but Alice and her father were very concerned and apologetic, solved the problem as soon as they could, and brought 'apology croissants'. It really was not their fault but they were concerned that our trip was disturbed. On our last day Alice called us a mini bus service so that we could pack in five large suitcases to the airport.
