Alessandra was a great host, welcoming us with snacks when we arrived late and assiting us when needed. The apartment/room is cozy, perfect for a couple. The balcony overlooks a beautiful section of an LGBTQ friendly street/area. Close to metro, grocery, nightlife, a gorgous park and many restaraunts. The walk up to the apartment is not for the faint of heart, 4 floors up!
