Alessandro and Fiammetta were excellent hosts, very thorough in welcoming us the the apartment and showing us the details and operations of the fixtures (bathroom, kitchen, etc.). The area is superb for walking around Rome, the Vicolo delle Grotte that the apartment overlooks is lovely and leads directly to Campo de' Fiori but the merchants do use it to transport their market merchandise very early in the morning (around 5am they start) - this was actually great for us as we like to get up as early as possible to see Rome with few crowds !
