I reserved Alberto's apartment for 2 weeks. Prior to my arrival he provided assistance on how to reach his place from FCO, as well as assistance for my son who was also staying in the area. Upon my arrival, he met me at the bus stop as he said he would. The stop was within a few feet of the apartment. We walked to the apartment and it was as shown in the pics. Clean and cozy. The rooms were adequate size for me and my son. I was expecting the sofa chair to be a sleeper but it wasn't. However, my son slept comfortably on it for the duration of our stay. My issues with the apartment were: 1) No air conditioner. It was very, very hot in Rome and extremely hot in the apartment. The ceiling fans and open windows provided very little relief. I don't recommend staying in the hot summer months unless air conditioning is available. 2) Internet connection was not very good. It only worked in the room where it was plugged in. Even then it was slower than I am used to. 3) Noisy neighbors. I was awakened each and every day by either loud banging noises, singing or people yelling and children playing. I expected it to be a little different since there is quiet time til a certain hour. 4) The bed was a little uncomfortable being that it was low to the floor. After a few nights I got a little more used to it. 5) The bathroom was very small. The bidet is in an awkward place by the toilet, which makes it very difficult to use the toilet properly. The shower was tight also. I'm tall and slim but I had some difficulty moving around and bending to wash myself. Overall Alberto was a good host but the apartment fell a little short of my expectations. Out of 5 stars, I would rate this apartment a 3 due to my issues stated above.
