As others have said, Allesandro's apartment is exactly how it is portrayed. The room is large with lots of storage, a futon bed that is quite comfortable and a large, clean bathroom.

However, there was a bit of a problem. We had requested, but did not receive, detailed directions to the flat. These should be part of the listing once your reservation is confirmed. We arrived in the evening on the train from the airport and had difficulty finding the place from the nearby Tuscalona train station. An explanation revealed itself later when we met Allesandro, who speaks no English, and we, sadly, speak no Italian. Fortunately, there was a friend, Zelda, who spoke Spanish, so my partner was able to speak with her and get the basics of the apartment set-up. Coffee is included and there are a few items in the apartment for sale for breakfast. Right next door is a coffee shop and a small grocery store down the street on the corner, though its hours are a bit odd.

The neighborhood of mid-rise apartment buildings is not very inspiring and there are few restaurants nearby. One needs to walk for 15 minutes or so to a nearby Metro station and from there it's a short ride to the central city. Do not attempt, as we did, to take the suburban train, it travels that way too infrequently.

Bottom line, Rome is expensive and this place is a decent value given these caveats.
