I am grateful to have had Alessandro as my host on my very first time using Airbnb. I booked on behalf of my family of 4 and we all agreed, including my parents, that he was extremely hospitable. Alessandro went over and above for us! Communication was excellent - we used WhatsApp to keep in contact whenever we needed anything and he would also ask how our trip was going and give great tips/recommendations for shopping and food. Also, we had been let down by our airline who lost my suitcase and Alessandro was very apologetic about it even though it was not his fault - he was even kind enough to call the airport to ask about it!

The apartment exceeded my expectations. It was well-decorated, so spacious and comfortable that we often lazed about for some time before leaving to explore the city. He provided sweets, fruit, breakfast items, water, maps and a guide to Rome. There were also towels, toiletries and a First Aid kit. The apartment is well-placed, just opposite Tuscolana station where you can get a train straight to Fiumicino Airport. Ponte Lungo metro station is also a short walk away, where you can get the train to most major parts of the city, or to Termini where you can connect to other places. Depending on your speed, it's a 30-40min walk to Colosseo. The streets are safe to walk about and wander, plus there are lovely Roman water fountains scattered around where you can refill your bottles (don't worry, they are safe and there is one on the apartment street too!) There is a supermarket across the road and a Conad approx. 10mins away (5mins from Ponte Lungo, on the way to San Giovanni).

As I said to Alessandro directly, I wish he had apartments in every country because I think he has set the bar so high as a host. Thank you SO much, Alessandro, for being a wonderful host! Grazie di tutto!
