What a great way to see Rome! We ere away from the busy and annoying tourist areas and once you get to know the bus lines it was simple to get to the action.
But the action outside our apartment was the best we saw. The outdoor market, great caffe and restaurants right in our neighborhood. We liked it so much that after spending one evening meal "in town" we choose to have the rest right walking distance from our apartment.
Alessandro was absolutely wonderful to us!!! Meeting us at the airport, taking us for caffe in his favorite little piazza, saving us when we got lost and finally helping me through the embarrassment of getting the times wrong on our train tickets out. I can't say enough about how he was there to support us. In America we say that when someone goes out of their way to be helpful they go the "extra mile", well Alsessandro went the extra 50 miles for us.
Thank you so much and we can't wait to visit Rome again, just to stay with Alessandro
