It was a true pleasure to be able to meet Alessandro and stay in his home. !
Alessandro picked us up from the train stop and showed us all around the neighborhood, giving us suggestions on where to eat and which buses will take us where. He even bought us a welcome espresso! Such a nice guy. Honestly, without his help, we wouldn't have done everything we wanted to do! He made us dinner reservations at his favorite restaurant on our first night and made a taxi reservation to get us to the airport since our flight was super early in the morning. He printed out tickets to all of the museums we wanted to go to...which saved us time and money. Alessandro was also very responsive via text and email.
The room was exactly the same as the pictures and we had our own beautiful bathroom. It was a very comfortable stay. The only (minor) negative thing we have to say is that the room gets a little warm, although he does provide a fan which helped a lot.
The location and neighborhood was awesome. We didn't want to be in the center of the city all day, everyday. Being able to go to this apartment gave us a break from all the hustle and bustle of downtown. It was really nice to get away from all of the tourist traps. There are many buses from the apartment that take you right to the center, which was really convenient.
Overall we will be coming back and staying with Alessandro again. I recommend this room to anyone looking to visit Rome. You don't find many people like Alessandro or places to stay like this in beautiful Roma!
