I had read all the reviews, so I knew this apartment would be perfect for our week in Rome. However, I was not prepared to be blown away beyond the already written reviews. First of all, Alessio is indeed a kind and gracious host. He met us outside later in the evening as our flight didn’t get in until after 1900. It is hard to describe just how close to things this place is. Maps of Rome make everything look a little further away, when In fact, they could be just around the corner. This apartment is maybe (maybe) a quarter mile from the Campo dei Fiori. Central to everything!
The apartment is very roomy with bedrooms on either side for utmost privacy. It is a stone’s throw from the Ghetto which is so lovely to stroll at night. Quiet and quaint. And, a few store fronts down is a sweet coffee bar by the name of Bar Sotto e Sopra where we visited with Diana and Claudio every morning over our macchiatos.
Don’t even think about taking a taxi from the airport. The train to termini and then the #40 bus will do you just fine. The bus drops you two blocks from the apartment.
I highly highly recommend Alessio’s place between his hospitality and the actual apartment, I can’t imagine finding a better place or value.
