Alessandro showed great hospitality for his place near the Vatican. The check-in process was very smooth, and we felt safe in the building. The apartment was clean and smelled nice. The grocery store across the street was also convenient.
The kitchen was small, but there was a nice-sized refrigerator and a hot plate to cook if you needed to. We did when we arrived late.
Some cautions: there's no "common room", like a living room or family room with a TV, for guests to all hang out in. The blankets provided were a bit thin compared to the cold/rainy weather in Rome, so it'd take a while to warm up. This would probably be different in the summer. Also, WiFi was pretty weak. Easy enough to browse web pages on your phone, but it would drop off and be unreliable.
Overall a great value
