We really enjoyed our stay at Alessandro's place. First, the location of the apartment is great, in the lively center of Rome, with many local people (not too touristic, we felt like in a real authentic neighborhood) with many nice restaurants / shops close to it. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, with a lot of taste and a great atmosphere, and very well equipped. It is located at the 3rd floor, with a nice view on the rooftops of the neighborhoods, and on a beautiful church. The apartment was very clean when we arrived. Last but not least, Alessandro was the perfect host, always very helpful and quick to respond. The only downside we could mention is that it is located on a charming but popular "piazza", where many (up to 200 on Friday or Saturday nights) italians like to drink a beer until late in the night. There are good soundproofing windows but they do not prevent a small buzzing noise in the night, or in the morning when the city cleaners put all the empty bottles at 7 am in their collecting vans. If you're looking for a lively Roman experience, that won't be an issue and the place is really great, but if you're looking for quiet before all, that's something to take into consideration. Overall, we definitely recommend the place and will love to come back there again.
