Alessandra is an exceptional host! This was our first airbnb experience and she set the bar high for other hosts. It was like having your best friend welcome you to her home.

Alessandra is incredibly warm, welcoming, thoughtful, and caring. She responds promptly to all questions. Along with her friends, they anticipated all our needs. When we arrived, they were there--there was a large bowl of apples, bottled water, milk, juice, croissants and muffins. The well-equipped kitchen had coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, clothes and dish washing detergent, shampoo, soap, shower caps.

The apartment itself is in an excellent location--the Vatican is a short walk. The taxi stand is a few minutes away. The train is perhaps 7-10 minutes. A farmer's market is next door. Right outside the front door is a restaurant. Via de Gracchi, right behind and parallel, has the best gelateria and pizza place that also has an outstanding bakery (very busy with locals, hard to get a table at lunch).

The apartment is very clean, the beds and pillows comfortable with crisp sheets and towels. It is a cozy, comfortable home and our family loved it. Alessandra let us check in at 8:30 in the morning when we arrived. We would strongly recommend her (her lovely friends) and the very comfortable apartment.
