We had a great stay at Alessandro’s apartment. The apartment is located in the Monti neighborhood, which is very convenient because it is within walking distance to the Termini train station and to major historical sites (the Colosseum, S. Maria Maggiore, Roman Forum, St. Peter in Chains, etc.) Monti is a quintessential Roman district, feels more like a village, with Piazza della Madona dei Monti in the center and several nice streets that branch off this Piazza. You will find funky shops, mini-markets (for groceries) and an amazing array of restaurants. The street where Alessandro’s apartment is located (Urbana) has several restaurants that serve typical roman food. Ai Tree Scalini, La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali, Urbana, Non c’e Trippa and al 42 are great places to get real roman food (not fancy places, just delicious food!). Ce Stamo a Pensa is a little (again, non-fancy) place with delicious food. Overall, Alessandro’s place gains high marks. Alessandro was helpful, and provided useful and accurate information. Highly recommend it.
