Alberto's place is on the outskirts of Rome, but located very close to the Metro C station, which you can take to Metro A and get to pretty much anywhere in Rome. The apartment is on the 8th floor, but there is a lift, so that is a huge help. There is a balcony, which gives you a nice view of the city and the mountains. We enjoyed going there during sunsets and drinking a glass of wine. There was a slightly weird odor coming from the one bathroom, but we think that is just because the plumbing system is old in the building.
There is a trattoria around the corner from this place with amazing pizza and pasta- i Borlotoli. We went there twice during our four days in Rome. Altogether, a good experience.
