I was there for 3 nights. Alessandro was not there, I was welcomed by his colleague. So I was actually alone there all the time. There are some books, booklets and maps in the room you can use to plan your sightseeing. The room is clean and nicely done up. It is quiet and I felt good and save there. Although it is not in the center of Rome, the metro station is a few minutes from the house and there are about 4 stops to the main train station and the center of the city.
