There aren’t enough stars for Alessandra and her lovely apartment!
From her clear communication before check in, to her arrangement of a car to pick up and drop us off at the train station, to meeting her promptly in front of the building to give us instructions on everything about the apartment (including how to operate some appliances), tips about location and transportation, to the very welcome basket of delicious treats and drinks, to her helpful accommodation of our late checkout—Alessandra is a gracious and welcoming host.
The layout of the apartment was smart and perfect for us (a couple and a friend). The living room was large and could be closed off from the bedroom area. There are lots of soundproof windows so the apartment is airy and light-filled but also has exterior shutters to use to block light for sleeping.
The kitchen is well-stocked.
The beds are very comfortable.
Everything was spotless.
The building is around the corner from the Vatican and a square with convenience stores, restaurants, and a taxi stand.
With its robust A/C, the apartment was a wonderful respite from the heat.
My friend and I had come to Rome from Milan, where we stayed at another Plus apartment, but were mystified by what qualified that particular place as a Plus property.
Alessandra’s apartment restored our faith in the Plus designation. It is a case study for adding more stars to the rating system! 😉
