Like others have mentioned, Alessandro's place was perfectly situated to visit Rome for the first time. It was about a 15 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Basilica, the Pantheon, and much more. The place was also surprisingly quiet too since it was located on the top floor. There are lots of stairs too, so be warned, but that wasn't a problem for us. Also, you are required to climb a ladder to the bed loft. When we arrived, Alessandro was out of town, so he had his assistant meet us. But we didn't realize we had to ring up to him to have him come open the door to the apartment building so we waited for him to show up for a while until he came out of the building to take out the trash. However, he was very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was how much dust the place had. The bed and bathroom felt clean, however the table, floor, and other surfaces had much dust on them. We also didn't have any washing machine soap to wash our clothes. Other than that though, we would certainly stay here again if given the chance. The place is super comfortable.
