My boyfriend and I loved Alessandro's apartment! It is right in the heart of Trastevere, a fantastic area to stay in - full of life, within walking distance to all the major sights in Rome (the colosseum, Roman forum, Spanish steps, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Vatican and more are all less than half an hour walk away) and with excellent choice in restaurants and bars. We came back to the area every evening for dinner after spending the day sightseeing as everywhere here is much more reasonably priced than the more touristy areas. There is a lovely little bakery, La Renella, only 2 doors down from the apartment where we could get sandwiches and pastries every morning before setting off. The apartment itself is lovely also, perfect size for the two of us, very clean and comfortable, with a lovely little terrace to sit out on. We had no problem with noise. Alessandro is an excellent host - he was very flexible with our check-in and check-out times, our flight home wasn't until evening so he allowed us to check out at 4 in the afternoon so we didn't have to carry our luggage all day. He was also very helpful in providing information on how to get from the airport, recommending places to eat in the area when we arrived (which we tried out and really enjoyed), and also in supplying plenty of information on what to visit in Rome - there is an information folder and plenty of guidebooks in the apartment. The only problem with our stay was that it was too short! We would fully recommend Alessandro's apartment.
