We stayed in Alessandro’s’ apartment for 10 nights in July 2016. The apartment is located in one of Rome’s most charming neighbourhood, right next to the Vatican, and minutes from the subway station.

The apartment is large, clean, bright, and with high ceilings. The kitchen is a bit old, but clean and well equipped; it gives the house its character.

Given its central location and summer days (more people are out), there was some noise at times from the street below. However, Alessandro provided us with fans, so once we closed the (new) windows, there was no noise. The fans also kept us cool during the scorching Roman summers.

Alessandro was also a gracious host. He greeted us on our arrival, showing us the ins and outs of the apartment. He also provided us with a bottle of wine, delicious crostata (Italian pie), and pasta with tomato sauce. Excellent way to get the holiday started. A few days after our arrival, he kindly checked in to ensure that all was well.

Overall, a clean and well located apartment, and a gracious host.
