Highly recommend. When the cab driver took us to the wrong neighborhood (Trastavere, not Testaccio) with all our bags, Alessandra came to get us in her car and brought us to the apartment. She then proceeded to stay for a few hours to help us get settled and answer a million of our questions (she wasn't pushy at all, we just kept asking different things about Rome and the time went by). She even walked us to one of her favorite food spots in the area (Trapizzino, go!). Later, she helped us find a guide for the Vatican museum, who was awesome. She is exactly the kind of host you would want when traveling internationally: warm and informative. I echo all the positive things about the apartment, which was really lovely: great space, kitchen stocked with coffee, beautiful bathroom, great neighborhood, etc. However, Alessandra is the real jewel of an already great listing.
