Communication with Alessio was great from the start. It is a quiet, local neighborhood with a grocery store and some restaurants and cafe's within walking distance. The #8 tram which goes directly into the center of Rome is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed and some light groceries, treats and water. The apartment was clean and spacious for our family of five, but the beds were not very comfortable. Overall I would recommend it.
