Alessandra was a great hostess, from start to finish, and we couldn't be happier with the apartment, very nice indeed and exactly as described. Some details below:
Communication - Alessandra was very proactive in her communication, reaching out to us with a lot of information about the apartment, transportation, etc. She was also very attentive and responsive to all our inquiries.
Hospitality - Simply amazing! When we arrived in Alessandra's apartment, we had a great welcome. Her friend explained every single thing to us, e.g. how the appliances worked, etc. She helped us find a restaurant and even made a reservation for us, which was very kind. Alessandra was also very kind to provide us a delicious breakfast for our first day, completely unexpected. To top it off, on our last day, Alessandra's employee helped us carry our baggages to our car.
Location - Excellent, within walking distance to the Vatican, Sant'Angelo Castle, and other attractions. Also very conveniently located, close to the subway, just a few minutes away, making it easier to travel to/from the airport, and also to visit the Colosseum. We didn't need a car to go anywhere.
Accommodation - the apartment was very clean and organized. We had a group of 8 and were very nicely accommodated in 3 bedrooms. Both bathrooms had great showers and were well stocked. The apartment also had a good breakfast/kitchen area. We definitely felt at home.
