Alessandra was the perfect hostess - polite, flexible - especially with our arrival time, full of great tips and advice on the local area and what to do in Rome itself. The apartment was in a gorgeous old building in the most perfect location and was immaculately clean, with everything you might need from fridge to iron, shower gels, tea, coffee, and biscuits. You can see from her attention to detail and the way she takes care of her guests that she is very well-travelled and extremely thoughtful. My only regret is that we didn’t get to go for a wine with her to hear all about her fascinating life!
