Perfect place and experience from the beginning to the end. We were lucky that there was no booking the day before so despite check-in is at 3 pm we were able to drop in at 9 am already. Sissy, Alex' friend was very nice and helpful to find the best possible way to get from the airport to Alex' place and provided some very good recommendation about the first places and events to visit. Communication by WhatsApp went perfect. Alex' place is perfectly located right behind the Vatican. It is clean, spacious with a beautiful balcony and a fully equipped kitchen with gas stove (important for your espresso to make in the morning) although we used the fridge only as there are very nice restaurants with simple but great dishes and coffee bars to drop in for an espresso very close to the place and as it seemed so, used by locals only. (we didn't recognize any other tourists around at the time) . If you are not up for a stroll through Rome, most hot spots can be easily reached by foot (2 to 6km distance), the metro station is a short walk away tho I recommend to take the bus (bus stop is located 20 m next to the house) to get to further away places and getting a "sightseeing tour" in addition and to hopp off whenever you'd see a nice place to check out. For taking a cab back to the house after a long walking day, I recommend downloading the "FREE NOW" app which gets you a taxi ride for a bargain. It works like UBER which is available as well but since UBER X is not available, it is more expensive than the cab. Since 5 days was not enough time to see all we wanted we will be definitely​ back next year and will try to book Alex' place again.
