Some of the best places I have stayed on AirBnB. Alessandro's place is less than 5 min walk to train station which was the main reason I stayed here so I don't have to drag my luggage all over the city. Also, the bus #62 stop is right across the street which takes you to many famous places (including Vatican in just half hour). The metro from train station can take you to Collosium, Roman Form, Rome Termini etc all in 15 to 30 mins. Alessamdro's building as well as train station has elevator so it was a big relief as my shoulder was in pain.
Alessandro's place is sparkly clean. It's big, sparse and tastefully decorated. You also get your private nice big clean bathroom. Alessandro also lets you use the kitchen for making coffee. The apartment is designed in such a way that you don't have to bother host much although Alessandro is great to interact with. He himself is an artist so make sure to look around to see his work in the apartment. He has also carefully created whole bunch of material to help travelers, for example, his favorite places to visit, maps, train routes and so on. This was greatly helpful to me. Wifi also worked nicely and was fast as well.
Finally some tips:
- Roma Pass is overall good deal for 2-3 days of stay. This is available at news store at train station.
- There is a cool African restaurant called Sahara in about 15-20 min walking distance. Definitely worth to checkout.
- Note that many Italian cities like Florence have almost no trains after 10:30 PM. Always check last train availability.
- You will probably won't be able to keep luggage at Alessandro's place after checkout (mainly due to security system of the building). The best place to stove you luggage while you rome around is at Roma Termini station which is where you can also take train to airport. However the official luggage storing place inside the station is often super busy with long lines of tourists. Fortunately you can find Capital Luggage Deposit right across the street from there (find it on Google maps) which is actually also much cheaper than official train station's luggage storage place.
