We spent 4 days at Alfredo's place and loved it. It is very unique - vintage in style. Alfredo is an exceptional host. He was in the house to greet us on arrival and was available at all times to answer questions and provide useful tips. He left lots of useful maps in the house about places to visit nearby. These were neatly arranged in boxes and by language! There were also lots of useful notes explaining where to find things in the house and how to use various gadgets. The neighbourhood is very pleasant and quiet. Local shops within a few minutes walk include: a small supermarket, a wholefood shop (Natura Si), chemist, Pasticceria, post office. There is nice café about 2 minutes walk away and a nice restaurant and pizzeria next door. It is close to several bus stops and 2 metro stations. Close to the Coliseum and other tourist sites. At Alfreddo's, you really feel you are part of the city and its a great way to enjoy being in Rome.
