Alessandra saved us a parking space directly below the balcony so we could check on the car and access it easily. She provided cold drinks and snacks upon check-in, which were so welcoming after a long drive. Breakfast pastry, juice, and coffee were also provided. The rooms were spectacularly decorated! Alessandra even helped us make dinner reservations one night - our dog was invited to the restaurant as well. When we arrived at the restaurant, they recognized us before we even spoke and took us directly to our table. Alessandra also put together a welcome basket for my little dog - he was more than appreciative of the canned food! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony, watching the sunset, and people/car watching. The bus stop was just steps outside the door, so all of Rome was at our fingertips!Alessandra was so easy to contact and replied very quickly to any question we had. My mother, mother-in-law, and I agree that Alessandra's apartment was our favorite place to stay out the 8 different accommodations we had on our Southern European vacation. We can highly recommend staying here!
