Alessandra's house has an amazing location which is almost equidistant from the Spanish Steps, the Piazza del Popolo and the Mausoleum of Augustus. The place is an absolute bargain for the part of the city that it is located in - a very posh and happening part which is active all day and night! Alessandra's has a very colourful house that is shared with 3 cats. The room has an adjoining balcony which opens up to a gorgeous view, but is also sufficiently far from the street so as to not be noisy at all. Alessandra herself is extremely warm and helpful and was also very flexible about checking in. She happens to be an amazing cook who might also treat you to some homemade chocolate! The nearest metro station is Spagna. Access to the bus network is not necessarily great (but that is honestly more a function of the state of Rome's public transportation rather than the location itself). After spending time in the more historic and frequented parts of Rome, this neighbourhood is a great change of pace for experiencing a much different side as well. If you're into doing some shopping at the best, most fashionable places as well, then this is hands down amongst the best places to be based out of as well.
