Alessia's place was very practical and worked well for us for a long weekend in Rome. We did feel that the photos made it look slightly nicer than it actually felt (definitely less light), although it was still fine for our needs. Alessia communicated clearly with us and had someone meet us to let us in, etc. -- all went smoothly. It was nice that she had left breakfast items (juice, milk, coffee, yogurt) for us in the fridge, and there is a coffee maker and kettle for tea. We did find the bed a bit uncomfortable and the walls/ceiling quite thin (we heard everyone in the building walking down the stairs in the morning), although again, it was fine and definitely an affordable option for Rome. Shower has good water pressure but does vacillate pretty dramatically between hot and cold throughout the course of a shower. We found the location quite practical. We would recommend this place as an affordable, practical option, although, as I said we did find the description/photos a bit misleading.
