Alessandra welcomed us quite literally with open arms into her beautiful home, sitting us down to cold water and orange juice and allowing us to settle. Then we were taken on a whirlwind tour of Rome, its sights, places to eat, what to do, how to get there etc. etc. before being given the tour around the appartment. In terms of location, it was perfect - everything was within walking distance and yet the area was quiet. We found a fabulous restaurant with the dreadful name of Macaroni just round the corner. In short, this is a wonderful place to stay with a owner who really cares that you feel welcomed.
