Alessandra is such a wonderfully welcome host that we stayed with her twice over our recent holiday to Rome! The compendium of printed information about local places to shop and eat was filled with lots of fantastic information - and although we didn't need them, the emergency contacts were very a thoughtful addition. Alessandra used to live in the building, and she willingly shared her knowledge about the local area which was spectacularly convenient for people who love to walk around Rome - the river walk being nearby, public transport to all parts of the city within easy walking distance and the Vatican, Castel Sant Angelo within sight of the doorway! Many great restaurants and eateries within 10 minutes walk - from a 2 star Michelin to family osteria. Highly recommended for those wanting to experience an authentic Roman holiday.
