We had a great stay at Garbabella! Alessandro is the perfect host you're dreaming of. Very friendly, helpful, responsive and thoughtful (who else would ever think of sending an updated weather forecast the day before you arrive?). Unfortunately, we only had the chance to meet each other in person the day we arrived but Alessandro kept contact with some SMS to make sure that we feel comfortable. The flat offers everything you need and the cherry on top is the balcony which offers a great view over Garbatella - a beautiful and lively neighborhood where you can discover Rome off the touristic path. Try Botrini, just a few minutes away from the flat. We had awesome pasta and steak! And don't worry, although Garbatella more located in the South, you're easily connected to the must sees of Rome - it's just a 10 minutes' walk to the metro/railway station (direct connection to Colosseum, Termini/main station and the airport). Thanks again, Alessandro, for offering us such a great place!
