My boyfriend and I stayed at Alessandro's place during our short trip to Rome and we had a great time. The apartment was squeaky clean, with everything needed provided so we barely had to bring any essentials as they were provided for us by Alessandro.
Alessandro was a wonderful host and helped us with everything, from the very beginning of our holiday, to the journey back to the airport by booking us a taxi. Therefore I would recommend staying here and having a host such as him, especially for first timers in Rome as he helped us organise almost every part of our trip.
The location of the apartment is great as it is a short walk away from the metro from which you can go to central Rome in just 3 stops for less than a few euros. The apartment is a walk away from the Vatican and there are cafes, shops, restaurants and supermarkets around every corner from the apartment. Just an overall beautiful location in an ideal spot.
