My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at Alessandro's apartment. Perfect location for exploring city. We were welcomed by his mother who was very informative about where to go/eat/shop etc..... especially the fabulous ice cream shop at end of street( Millenium).
Right beside fruit& veg shop, local restaurants and supermarket for that essential fresh bread.
The studio Apartment was clean, bright and has everything you need. The terrace makes its extra special for sitting out on an evening with wine.
Neighbourhood is lively but not as busy as main centre.
Vatican museum entrance is 5 mins walk which was really handy for us and the Metro about the same. I would really recommend the Metro for seeing the city as its very user friendly. About £5 for day ticket.
All in all a great experience and would highly recommend
