Alessandra's place is in an excellent location - close to two metro stations and many popular sights such as the Spanish steps, meaning that we could walk to them really early in the morning before all of the other tourists. The place is nicely decorated with many of Alessandra and her husband's artwork. Alessandra provided great local tips on where to eat and where to visit. She bakes delicious cakes and pastries, they were really tasty and we were able to get the recipes too! The two cats Alessandra has are gorgeous and really friendly.
