Alessia's place is awesome. It's in the middle of an area with multiple types of shops, restaurants, and a public transportation hub. We were able to walk to the Vatican, the Pantheon, and the Colosseum in around 30 minutes. It being summer, we were definitely in need of showers when we got back and Alessia's shower stall allowed both my husband (6'2" / 188 cm) and myself (5'0" / 152 cm) to shower comfortably. We did not use the microwave, but did take advantage of the small refrigerator and kettle (hot water heater). A wonderful place to have as your base when visiting Rome.
