Alex and his place were absolutely great. We had excellent communication months before our stay leading up to check-in and out, including great hospitality by accommodating our arrival details.
The location is near many restaurants and Gelaterias, bustling with life in the evening, but the apartment is absolutely quiet. Piazza Navona is a great place for the evening just a few minutes walk away. We were also a maximum 30 minute walk any sight we wanted to see (Colosseum - a short walk in Rome). Most sights were much closer.
The space is stylish and is painted a calming sky blue. The hanging lights are a nice touch. There is plenty of storage to hide your luggage away, or enough space to sprawl it out. The bathroom is of a good size for comfortable use and the bed was comfortable.
A/C was great for us desert dwellers who aren’t as accustomed to the humidity.
The building also has a small vintage elevator which was convenient since we had quite a bit of luggage. However, I should say that the elevator did stall with someone in it during our stay (not sure how long it took to get them out or is there was some kind of user error involved - residents came to the sound of the alarm right away). Just a fair warning. I wouldn’t hold it against the accommodation because elevators are quite rare anyway and it’s definitely vintage.
Overall, a great stay and we recommend Alex’s place for your vacation in Rome.
