Alessio's apartment was a great base for exploring Rome - while it's not in the tourist center, it's really conveniently located to the 280 bus line which stops at the Lepanto metro station and also goes down along the Tiber river where you can walk into the center. Or, you could take a leisurely walk to the Vatican and Trastevere! Alessio was really nice and friendly and quick to respond to messages and assist with the check-in process. His apartment is really spacious - much larger than a little hotel room and very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and we made several meals there. Wifi was strong throughout our stay. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it was a great experience!
