Had a nice stay in Rome at Alessandro's place. The apartment was very spacious for the two of us and had the essentials we needed. Had some issues with the temperature and water pressure in the shower and Alessandro came to investigate minutes after being notified. Great communication and attentiveness.
It was uncharacteristically hot when we stayed which made walking around difficult but we did make it from Roma Termini ( train station) in about 15 minutes and the Colosseum in about 20 minutes. In every other instance the short walk to the nearby metro station was helpful to get to most sites in, at most, an hour. The nearby laundry (not self serve), barbershop, park, and grocery store were all nice to haves, as well.
Pretty much ended every night with some gelato from the place that Alessandro recommended. Some of the best we had in Italy.
