We (family of 4) had an amazing stay at Alessandro's place. It was quiet and enabled us to sleep peacefully after a long flight from Australia. Perfect for getting over jetlag and hitting the city!
Alessandro met us outside the apartment and was super welcoming and warm. He showed us on a map all the great places nearby to drink coffee and eat!
The apartment is amazingly renovated and is really comfortable, but probably not really suited for toddlers or really small children as there are a few stairs etc.
It's close enough to walk from Rome Termini to the apartment. It's also close to the Metro (Red line) where I bought a 24 hour metro/transport pass for the family.
We jumped on the nearby tram which, 5 minutes later dropped us at the Coleseum. From there we jumped on Bus 51 and visited the Trevi. Then a walk to the Pantheon, followed by a short bus trip to St Peters before catching the metro back to the apartment.
We used the amazing App, Rome2Rio which provides all the public transport guides and tips to get ANYWHERE! We toured the sights of Rome like locals.
All in all a wonderful experience and a great home base at Alessandro's place.
5 Stars from us.
