Alessandro was a wonderful host! My mom and I really enjoyed our stay in this charming, lovely, old building. Ruel and Alessandro were so kind and accommodating. Ruel met us and not only allowed us to check in earlier at the last minute, but also gave us a map with a full explanation of the best places nearby, tourist attractions, and how to get everywhere. He went above and beyond! The apartment itself is updated and definitely has a more modern/luxury feel, but does still have a historic touch with lots of vintage furniture. Exactly as depicted in the listing. The apartment is quite spacious, immaculately clean, and the beds were heavenly after long days of sightseeing. The elevator is a bit small and antiquated (since it is a very old building and the apartment was on the third floor) but it was fine for just my mom and I - however a larger group may want to account for that. The only other thing to note is the apartment is a bit noisy since it is above a fairly busy street and soundproofing hardly ever exists in older buildings. However, I think it would be a challenge to find anywhere that is quiet in the city center of Rome. We loved the location, not too crowded and a little off the main tourist area, but a 10-15 minute walk from a lot of the sights. There is a wonderful restaurant right next to the entry of the building, as well as a supermarket/souvenir shop, and lots of other cafes and gelato shops in the area. Overall I would highly recommend this apartment if you are wanting a relaxing space to enjoy in The Jewish Ghetto with a lot of character and old charm! Thank you Alessandro and Ruel for a wonderful stay.
