Alessandro was very responsive via email, and although he wasn't able to meet us at the apartment, he had his colleague meet us there at the specified time and provided us with the appropriate contact information. The apartment was just as it appeared in the pictures, with a lovely, private terrace. The apartment was clean and had all the essentials. The neighborhood was fantastic! The A line metro was about a 4 minute walk and the Vatican Museum entrance is about a 10 minute walk. There is a grocery store right down the street and a bakery next door. There were 2 of us on this trip, but the apartment could easily accommodate another 1 or 2. The bed was a little hard, but that seemed to be the norm in every place we stayed in Italy. My only advice to future guests who stay in the warmer months would be to bring some bug spray with you if you plan to spend time in the t errace at night --I had a couple of mosquito bites from spending time out there at night -- but well worth a little bit of itching :) If I'm back in Rome, this will be the only place I stay!
