Alessandro's apartment was a great find. It is an easy walk with your luggage from the train station. The train station is a Metro subway stop which is free with the Roma Pass. Took the subway to the Vatican and other places. Easy walk to everything you want to see. Felt very safe in this area. Lots of good places to eat. Alessandro was a great host. He had many sight seeing tips, guides, and maps for us. If you have any questions or problems, Alessandro is quick to respond. His appartment was well stocked with everything you need. There is a grocery store close to the appartment. We were able to walk to the end of the street, about one block, to get a taxi early in the morning to the airport.
