The advantages of staying at Alessandro's are proximity to the Colosseum, enjoyment of the Monti area, the map and restaurant recommendations he provides, and the low price. The disadvantages, however, far outweigh the advantages, and we regret our decision to stay there. Chiefly, the apartment was far less clean than it should have been relative to other Airbnb's. There was dirt on the walls and floors, cobwebs and dust, and the couch was dirty. We killed numerous insects during our stay throughout the apartment. While we knew there would not be A.C. based on his omission and the reviews' explanation, there are only two small windows, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom, to let in air. It was stifling hot inside of the apartment, so we opened the windows. They do not have screens, so when we opened them we let in mosquitoes and woke up with bites all over our bodies. Otherwise you would need to open the door to the terrace where ants were crawling under the door and into the apartment throughout the stay. The apartment was not within 5-10 minutes of Trevi Fountain and 15 minutes to the Pantheon as expressed, it was a longer distance to those locations. There was a washing machine, but no clothes line to air dry your clothing. The outlets did not allow us to use a converter to use a hair straightener or charge our portable charger though the same converter worked elsewhere in Rome and greater Italy. We did not have phone service in the apartment, but some semblance of data access through the wifi.
