Andrea was the perfect host. Right from the beginning he was helpful and friendly.

My girlfriend and I got a taxi from the airport to his apartment and the driver attempted to charge us 40E instead of the standard 30E. I sent Andrea a message and he met us outside the front and ensured that we paid the correct amount.

He even lent us an umbrella when we were going out for dinner one evening.

The apartment was fantastic and exactly as advertised; spacious, comfy, clean and enjoyable. The views from the apartment were excellent - you really are just a stones throw away from the Colosseum.

The neighborhood was pleasant, quite quiet but still had plenty of bars and restaurants to keep you entertained. We were particularly fond of a local piano wine bar and a friendly little cafe, both just minutes from the flat.

And, if you fancy heading further into town, it's very easy. You can walk to the Spanish Steps in around 30mins or jump on a metro (15mins).

All in all, our stay was superb. Andrea made us feel very welcome, the apartment was lovely and Rome was breathtaking.
