Alessandra is the consummate hostess and Casa Barberini is the perfect Roman home away from home. Though it was only a few steps from the Metro station, because the location is so centrally located to many popular sites, we primarily walked everywhere and saved the two Metro trips we took for the early morning guided tours we pre-booked. Alessandra has wonderful tour guide, driver and restaurant referrals so do take her up on the offer to connect you.
