Alessandro was very welcoming, he had some chocolate and wine for us, clean towels and was very helpful. He recommended a great place for a quick snack nearby on our first day and even took us there himself! The apartment is really cosy and although the building does not have heating, the air condition (bedroom) and the little portable heater were more than enough. There was also hot water all day long. There is a tratttoria just below the apartment so it kept smelling of garlic and pizza but that did not bother us at all. Testaccio neighborhood is really nice, quite but very close to the center. The metro is a 10-minute walk but the buses are a lot more practical and the bus stop is exactly on the next street of the apartment. Trastevere and Tiber are also really close by. All and all a very nice experience, I would definitely recommend Alessandro' s place!
