Staying for 12 days in Alessandra's apartment on via Ghibellina was lovely. The apartment is beautifully decorated, comfortable to live in and spotlessly clean. Alessandra provided milk, juice, tea and other basic requirements which was very generous. But not only was the apartment perfect but Alessandra kindly picked me up at the airport (which was most appreciated after a long flight from Australia ) and delivered me back to the airport on my departure, during which time I had the pleasure of getting to know her a little. I do hope Alessandra is able to bring her mother to Melbourne (Australia) one day so that I can take them both to the country to see some kangaroos -as is her mother's wish! I would be very pleased to see her again and have the opportunity to return her kindness. (She even gave me a small gift on departure ).
