We had the best time spending a few days at Alessandro’s! He is an extremely warm and kind person and a true example of Italian hospitality. We were kind of green when we arrived to Rome and Alessandro not only picked us up, but also helped get our bearings by driving us around the neighbourhood, recommending several places and giving tips on how to get the best out of the visit in Rome.

The apartment has all the equipment and utilities one could possibly need, moreover, it seems like each room has its own bathroom, which is a nice and convenient feature :) The whole place is really neat and clean, if you have keen eye for it, you will even appreciate beautiful hand-made (by Alessandro’s family) furniture in the bedroom ;-)

Last, but not least - the neighbourhood. It may not seem like the most central location or particularly close to the metro, but believe me when I say it only works in its advantage. You actually feel like you’re the only tourist around, which at least for us was the cool part. There’s a totally amazing food market happening every morning just downstairs of the apartment, which combined with bakery, coffee place and a really nice restaurant really gives you the local feeling. Combine it with the fact that it takes around 20 minutes to take to Piazza Venezia and even less to Trastevere and you will see how it’s better than a place in the strict centre. Also, we appreciated the fact that you don’t need to commute in a crowded metro if you’re trying to get to the most popular sights.

All in all - it was a highly memorable visit :) if you’re looking for a place to stay in Rome - Alessandro is your guy!
