The host made check in very easy and we did not even have to meet her, this was a pro since we got into Rome pretty late. The room was very very clean and the bathroom was very nice as well. The room has a communal dining area as well as a communal kitchen. The area was in a very nice neighborhood of Rome. There were a lot of places to dine nearby and a lot of things were walking distance. I would have given Alessandra a 5 star review except for one deal breaker.

The room was listed as having Air Conditioning, it did not. I specifically filtered listings in Rome for rooms with AC since during the day it can get up to 90 degrees, and after sweating all day you want to get back to a cool room. Unfortunately there was no AC and there was a warm room. The host knew she did not have AC a week earlier and did not contact us to let us know and to give us a chance to cancel, which I would have in a heart beat since we wanted to relax in a cool room after sightseeing all day.

The host responded to us that she knew on June 1st that she did not have AC (we checked in June 6th). If you are like me and willing to pay extra for AC, look elsewhere.
