Alessandro's place proved a very convenient, comfortable, and well-equipped flat for a week on my own. It was a surprise to see the colloseum appear at the end of the road on my first morning's run to the pasticceria. The flat is hyperlocal to the cluster of restaurants, bars, etc around piazza Zingari, and I was able to move anywhere around the centre of Rome with ease by foot, taxi and metro from Cavour. As always when sleeping in the heart of any city I used wax earplugs and each night enjoyed restful sleep in the street-facing bedroom. Strong water pressure for refreshing showers, *exceptionally* clean throughout, and very good value at the price point. Thanks Alessandro for a splendid week. :)
