Alessandro was a very welcoming & friendly host. He offered to pick us up and drop us off at the train station. He also pointed out the sights to see in Roma, explained the bus/ metro system to get around town & recommended some nice restaurants near his apartment. The area we stayed in was very nice & safe with plenty of small convenience stores, fruit & veg shops, pharmacy etc. to buy all you need for your stay. The apartment was modern & fresh with a great outdoor balcony. Our room was very big with an ensuite. Very comfortable place to stay in Roma.
