We loved our stay at Alessandro's place!
As others have mentioned, he does not have much English but we got along great and could communicate with Google Translate! Alessandro messaged each day to see how our trip was going, offering ideas on what to do, and restaurant suggestions. A great host!
The apartment was in a great location - right by the Vatican and also just by a metro stop so the rest of the city was easily accessible. Lots of great restaurants and shops in the area too.
The apartment was spacious but so cosy too. It's was lovely and warm. Great value too compared to hotels.
I'm already thinking of my next trip back to Rome and would definitely try stay here again!
