Alessandro is a great host. He always had timely responses and was very helpful. His place is within walking distance (2 miles or less) from all of the major sights. His apartment was clean and there is a clothes washer and drying rack. There is a small grocery store just down the road from his place, about a 2 to 3 minute walk. This came in very handy and saved us money being able to cook in his apartment. We highly recommend staying at his place if you’re in Rome.
