Cannot overhype this place enough! Alessandro's place is precisely the kind of experience Airbnb was made for and a hotel cannot provide. It is cozy, comfortable, quirky, genuinely original, and walking distance from everything you would want to see in Rome. I cannot count the number of times tourists walking on Via dei Coronari turned their heads in surprise to see us walk out of such a local apartment. If you're the kind of person who craves authentic local experiences (which admittedly is very difficult nowadays in a city swarmed with tourists like Rome). Small disclaimer though: the stairs to the apartment are steep, if you have issues climbing stairs, this place might not be for you – it worked perfectly for my wife and I however.
