Many people have written about the charms of Alessandra and I agree, she is probably the BEST HOST EVER! She spent so much time orienting us to the apartment, neighborhood and amenities. I was so grateful for how welcoming she was. The apartment is in a prime location for the major tourist spots. It was clean and super fun.
FYI, we bought a ROMA pass and it did not skip any lines for us. Research skipping the line at the Colosseum before you go if you care. The only longer lines I have seen were at the Louvre. Alessandra will likely know the best way to deal with that too, but we didn't ask. She is the best.
