Alessandro went above and beyond as a host during our visit to Rome. During the first night of our stay, I had to seek emergency medical treatment and knew nothing about where I should go. It was Alessandro who recommended a hospital near-by and at a moment's notice he provided me with transportation to the hospital. He also came back to the hospital to check on me and stayed for quite some time. He provided such a warm welcome it was as if he was a brother. Throughout my stay Alessandro sent me numerous near-by recommendations and suggestions for various restaurants, bars/cafes, pizzerias, great places for gelato, etc. The apartment was nothing less than perfect. As a matter of fact, the pictures don't do it justice. It is pristine and it felt like home. There we found all the essentials for our use, including bathroom products (shampoo, body wash, hair dryer, etc.) and in the kitchen we had access to bread, home made preserves, a wonderful juice, local beer, coffee, tear, and a few different types of biscotti. The location of the apartment is San Giovanni, which is a beautiful neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of Rome - yet close enough (10-15 minutes) to walk to some of the main attractions. I loved living among the locals and that's where I was able to experience the culture of Italy. Our stay was perfect and I will definitely recommend this listing to family friends and others. I look forward to returning to stay here for years to come.
