Our stay with Alessandro at his apartment was wonderful. After picking us up from the local metro station, he kindly took us in his car to explain the tram and bus routes in to town. He even took us for a coffee in the local cafe!
Once at the apartment, he gave us lots of useful tips for buying tickets, where to visit and when, as well good restaurants, of which 'Trattoria Fraschetta' in Trastevere was our particular favourite. He even booked us a table for one night.
The apartment itself was a good size, well furnished and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The distance in to town was never an issue, with the tram and buses in to town running extremely quickly and frequently.
All in all, a good room with an excellent host that was the perfect base for our trip to Rome.
