We never got to meet Alessia, but had the pleasure of meeting her lovely parents and also her sister, Gloria, when we decided to extend our stay in Rome. The apartment is on the ground floor (wonderful and cool in the Rome summer) and is exactly as pictured. It is a good location, only a 20-30 minute walk to the Vatican, and a 7 minute walk to the nearest metro stop, which was very convenient. Alessia was always very quick to respond to any questions we had. The apartment was in a very quiet area and we would love to stay again if we returned to Rome.
