Even though I did not meet Alessandro in person, he was responsive to my messages and made the arrangements to meet Mr. Flaviano to receive the key. The apt was cozy with antique decor. The beds are extremely comfortable, easy to use stove/kitchen, and easy access to wifi. The location is perfect to walk to the colosseum and other monuments. Mr. Flavian was hospitable as he provided me with a map and locations to visit for our three day stay. The only downside was the hot water. You need to turn on the water heater 15 minutes prior to taking a shower but the hot water literally only last 2 minutes. I had shampoo in my hair when the water went cold and I had to wait another 15 minutes for hot water. Other than that, it's the perfect apartment to stay during the winter.
