We had a wonderful 4 days in Rome staying in Alessandra's and Massimo's apartment. There are so many wonderful things to say about this place! It is very spacious, fantastic location (we only caught the metro once!), lovely hot shower, fantastic washer with separate dryer and excellent communication with Alessandra and Massimo. The apartment was well equipped with dishwashing and washing detergent and some panettone for our arrival. We did find the kitchen a little "tired" with old appliances and a dishwasher that did not clean (hence fairly dirty crockery, cutlery and glass wear when we arrived). The kitchen dishcloth was also quite old and used which was a little off putting. the main bathroom had quite an odour and the sink did not drain well (as it was Xmas I did not want to disturb Alessandra so I am not sure if this is unusual or not?). On the whole, a great place to stay.
