Oh, I highly recommend Alfonso's place!!! It is very clean and spacious. Communication was no problem at all. The area is very close to the Colosseum and it is right at the center of Rome. I love his flat because it is by far the best that I have booked--almost like staying in a hotel! His place is very safe, with very good restaurants around it. What made it exceptional was the kind host and the warm welcome that he gave us. I will definitely book with him again if given the chance to visit Rome again. :)
