We stayed for a long weekend in Alessandro's place and found it absolutely perfect. The location is unrivalled and made early morning visits to St. Peter's absolutely beautiful, avoiding the crowds and being able to soak everything in. It's less than a 10 minute walk so we were able to be there before 8.
The rest of Rome is also really easy to get to or failing that there are plenty of bus stops.
The cafe at the bottom of the stairs was incredibly welcoming and a perfect place to both start the day with coffee, and finish with a cocktail.
We didn't have too much contact with Alessandro as he let us do our own thing but we knew he was just a phonecall/text away if we needed anything at all.
He was really accommodating with our arrival time and made sure we had everything we needed. The hospitality along with the price made this such a wonderful location. My dad is already planning on returning this year.
