Alvise's apartment is very beautiful. We immediately felt at home by the wonderful greeting we received from Alvise. He provided all the information we needed to get around the city, as well as some very good restaurant recommendations. After a long day of travel, it was so nice to find he had provided us with items so we didn't have to get to a grocery store right away. He left wonderful cookies, bread, milk, juice, bottled water, fruit, butter and marmalade. We were set for the next day's breakfast. One evening during our stay, there was a problem with one of the toilets and Alvise immediately came over to check it and had a plumber repair it early the next day. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience in Alvise's lovely apartment. If I return to Rome, there is nowhere else I would stay!!
