Had a wonderful stay in Rome at Alessandro's place! It's in a great spot in the heart of Monti. Close to subway and lots or restaurants and within walking distance to many sites like the Colosseum and Forum. Alessandro was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Apartment is facing inner courtyard which is good because it was quiet despite the surrounding restaurants but did make it a bit dark. The city experienced a black out on our last night/morning there, which was no fault of Alessandro but did make the place very dark and hard to navigate. The washer was a huge plus. Note there is no AC in the bedroom but keeping the door open to the living room allowed it to get cool enough to be comfortable and there was also a fan in the bedroom which helped.
