Alessandro's newly renovated room looked exactly the same as listed. New and clean, it comes with an air-conditioner, a fridge and a couple of nice little extras - excellent for a hot summer day in Rome. I picked it mainly for its location as I had an early train to catch the following morning, but Alessandro's tips for food and cool places to hang out made my brief stay in Rome, a city I'd visited twice before, very enjoyable. I got to explore a couple of new places during this brief stay. Alessandro also let me check in a bit early after my long-haul and waited for me at the apartment, which was very kind of him. He was very communicative and responsive. A highly recommended host.
