Alessandro's apartment was as described, it is lovely with everything you need. The location was great, it was right next to the Villa Borghese, which we explored for a whole day - there was so much to see! We walked into central Rome most days (which took about 20-30 minutes), but there are many bus routes on the adjacent roads to the apartment. There was a good supermarket on the same road. We had a fabulous time in Rome, which was helped by staying at Alessandro's place.
