Alessio's place was the perfect base for our Rome adventures. It is out of the way of the city centre, and a nice change of pace after a long crowded day, yet a one minute walk to the metro that connects you to everything. The elevator can seem a bit scary if you aren't used to old elevators, but as long as you don't try to put too many people or bags in it, it does the job of getting you to the 4th floor flat.
