We arrived at the Rome Airport, Jetlagged, hungry and hot so we decided to take a taxi to Alessandro's Airbnb. Being rubes from Georgia, USA we were scammed by a "fake taxi" who charged us more than twice what the normal rate would be. What a disappointing (and costly) introduction to Italy. Alessandro turned this all around for us. He helped us figure out transportation, eating places, and spent more time with us than we would ever expect -- making sure everything was just right, but not over solicitous. And his place is quite central and comfortable, very close to trains, trams and buses
