Alfredo was a great host. He kept in touch before our trip, arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport and then met us at the apartment. Couldn't have been more straightforward. The location of the apartment couldn't have been better for a first trip to Rome. Very lively, lots of good restaurants (Al made some excellent recommendations) and within easy walking distance of all the main sites. The apartment is quirky and interesting, partly subterranean, and keeps you well away from the bustling streets outside. It is well equipped and has large comfortable beds with plenty of bedding. No complaints at all.
