Alessio was truly a Superhost. My husband and I arrived late to find Alessio waiting to greet us outside the apartment. He gave us a quick tour of the flat and explained quite a bit about the local amenities. He made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay.
The place was stocked with essentials and had a helpful binder with travel instructions to main attractions and local restaurants. Everything in the flat was clean and in working order, we particularly enjoyed the surround sound speakers and the little espresso machine.
We enjoyed shopping at the farmers market that took place nearly every morning around the corner from the flat, as well as a few of Alessio's recommendations for nearby local restaurants. Our favorite meal was a most delicious steak at Kilo restaurant, a recommendation only a block away.
The location of the flat was great for us. Walking through the nearby Park Villa Borghese was a nice break from busy tourism and gets you pretty close to the Spanish Steps and other attractions. The nearest metro station is about 2.4 km, but there are plenty of nearby bus stops that can get you anywhere. It is a 10-20 Euro cab ride to most attractions through the MyTaxi app if you are in a rush.
We loved Rome and would absolutely stay at Alessio's flat again next time we visit!
