Wow! Alessandro's apartment is an excellent place to stay in Roma. The central location allowed us to walk to the Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. We took taxis to the Borghese Museum and to Termini Station. Even the streets immediately around the apartment are charming and bustling with restaurants, bars and shopping, and wandering around is very enjoyable. Piazza Navona is 3 minutes away and has a beautiful Bernini fountain, stunning during the day, but especially captivating while lit at night. The apartment looks out over a bar, but the windows block the noise so we were not disturbed. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with enough equipment and supplies (like oil, sugar, coffee, spices) in case you want to prepare food. But there were so many great restaurants in Roma that we ate out. Regarding arrival to the apartment...part of me wanted to try using public transportation from the airport, but I was glad that I followed Alessandro's recommendation to take a taxi. As a first time visitor to Italy, unfamiliar with the small streets in the area around the apartment, and tired from an overnight flight, I have no doubt that I would have gotten lost. Google maps helped us to navigate Roma on foot successfully after that. Alessandro provided helpful information , messaged us often to ask if we needed anything, and was an overall excellent host. I highly recommend Alessandro's apartment, and hope I have the good fortune to return some day.
