Alessio’s place is exactly as the photos show - it’s a little bit out of the touristy central sections of Rome but was in a good friendly area.
The apartment is opposite a military office and in very close proximity to the Vatican City.
There is a great espresso place just around the corner and a corner store/ bakery about 50 metres away.
The home is clean and well presented. There is everything you might need for your stay.
One tip I’d give you in Rome is to look at a map if walking and not really on gps or google or apple maps - they really don’t work here.
If you’re looking for some great food - head to “the loft” near Vatican City. Real Roman food with a real price tag.
Alessio was a great host - he accommodated our late check in, helped us find a driver from the airport and offered friendly suggestions for where to eat.
This part of Rome is nice if you’d like to get an idea of how Rome really works.
