We absolutely loved Alessandro's place, which is in a very quiet neighborhood. The large, airy room was a perfect place to stay: easy access by bus and tram to Piazza Venezia (gateway to major tourist sites in Rome) and steps away from the daily street market and bakery. Alessandro offered lots of tips on sightseeing, places to eat, and general "getting around Rome" information. He offered to pick us up at the FCO airport but we figured out how to get to his bnb on our own.

There's no need to pay higher prices to stay in more touristy places in Rome! We highly recommend Alessandro's place and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
