The apartment is exactly as advertised - and more! The rooms are updated, spacious, light-filled, and beautiful. We were 6 adults with lots of room to enjoy a meal around the dining room table, an evening of watching World Cup Football or just relaxing before heading out to dinner.

The apartment is close to the metro and walking distance to many of Rome's sites. Another plus!

Alvise is the absolute consummate host. He met us at the apartment, went through the details and recommended a "local" family restaurant for our first night there.

Alvise provided his email address and was kind enough to suggest other places to dine, day trips out of Rome (to Orvieto and the beach) and coordinated our departure. I can't compliment Alvise enough for his professionalism and enthusiasm for his city and country!

We look forward to returning.
