The location was ideal. We walked everywhere by choice: it was about a 35-40 minute walk to the furthest site of interest for us (The Colosseum) but there was a bus stop nearby and we could have easily used public transit instead. Alessandro was very helpful. Before we arrived, he sent detailed instructions regarding the best ways (taxi, public transit) to get to his place. He also provided helpful tips which helped us avoid illegal cab drivers who would have charged us 3x the usual fare rate. check in and check out were smooth - Alessandro was there when we said we would be.
The room was clean and the kitchen was stocked with some extra amenities (e.g. tea, coffee). I would not hesitate to recommend Alessandro's place.
