ALE 160, Rome

Ale 160 is positioned in a less touristy but well-connected area of Rome, 2 km from Sapienza University and a 15-minute walk from Villa Borghese. Major attractions such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the Pantheon are reachable on foot in about 25-30 minutes or via frequent buses and trams whose stops are 3-4 minutes away. The metro station is a 10-15 minute walk providing direct access to Roma Termini station. The immediate surroundings are exceptionally practical: two supermarkets, a bakery, pizzerias, a pharmacy, a greengrocer, and multiple restaurants are within 100 metres. The location is safe and family-friendly, and the tree-lined street with a faint orange scent contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. The area is served by bus and tram lines that pass every 10 minutes, making car-free exploration easy. Rome Ciampino Airport is 15 km away; Fiumicino is accessible via Termini.

There is no restaurant or bar on site, but the kitchenette is equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, electric kettle, tea/coffee maker, and basic cookware - practical for preparing simple meals or breakfast. A welcome bottle of water, coffee, and tea are provided. The location makes self-catering easy: two supermarkets, a greengrocer, a bakery, and a pizzeria are directly on the street, plus a wide selection of restaurants (Italian, Greek, Ramen, sushi, pub food) within a 3-5 minute walk. There is no on-site dining service, but the abundance of nearby options - plus the kitchen facility - means guests can eat conveniently without travelling far. Many guests choose to eat breakfast at the apartment and explore the surrounding restaurants for lunch and dinner.

The property provides free Wi-Fi in all areas, a 24-hour front desk (remote but responsive), express check-in/check-out, and an invoice for business travellers. Luggage storage is available by prior arrangement. A lift serves the apartment floor, though it is small (max 2 people). The apartment has a secure building entrance with a door code. Housekeeping is not included during the stay unless requested separately; cleanliness on arrival can be inconsistent - some find the apartment spotless, others encounter dirty linens or leftover food in the kitchen. The host is generally described as helpful and available by phone or messaging for issues like key code retrieval. Pets are allowed with possible extra charges. No parking is available, and the main door lock uses a code, not a physical key. The bathroom may lack a ventilation fan, so moisture can linger after showers.
