Alessandra is a great host and we had such a nice time at her place! It's located in a very cool local neighborhood with good affordable food and bars. Very nice if you want to have a break from the huge tourist crowds. Easy to get to the center by bus... She does provide bikes to use as well! She had many good recommendations for restaurants and things to do, as well as helpful tips for necessities in the area (grocery store, etc.). She was also very helpful with any questions and was very available and quick to respond. We definitely recommend this place to stay in Rome!
