Alessandra's place is lovely little flat just outside the historic centre of Rome. It is only a short bus ride away or about a 30 minute, but very easy walk. There is also a decent sized supermarket in the same street as well as several restaurants very close by.

The flat itself is rather small and it would likely be quite uncomfortable to accommodate more than two people even though there are two double beds (one them being a sofa bed). Nonetheless, for two people it is the perfect size for a short stay and provides you with all the amenities you would need for a simple self-catered visit.

The building is very secure and the flat faces onto a quiet courtyard. The area feels extremely safe as it is located quite close to a main road, though the noise does not bother you at all.

Alessandra was kind enough to accommodate us at the last minute as our hotel fell through. She was quick to respond and gave us a lot of information to help us reach the flat. We never met her unfortunately, but her flatmate was kind enough to meet us, show us round and offer advice on city sights and places to eat and drink.

We had a lovely stay in Rome thanks to Alessandra and we would definitely consider returning.
