What a great location in Rome! Andreas place is about a 3 minute walk to the Colosseum and the Metro station. We took the train in from Florence and bought Metro passes for the time we would be there. Being so close to the metro was super convenient. We were able to get within a 5-15 minute walk of everywhere we wanted to go in Rome. Andrea was in contact with us before we arrived and allowed us to check in early. He met us and let us in showing us around, and giving us suggestions. Even if he hadn’t, he had everything very clearly laid out, so it wouldn’t have been a problem. I recommend that you pay attention to the recommendations he has posted. In particular, we loved Ristorante Colloseo Luzzi - just a block away with really great inexpensive food and wine! Go early though, 6:30 - 7:00 or be prepared to wait. We got there at just the right time, and watched it have a crowd waiting shortly after we arrived. Andreas place was plenty big for us, we didn’t really use the balcony except to hang some of our clothes that we had washed out, it was just to darn hot! In cooler weather it would be nice to sit out and enjoy the bottle of Prosecco that Andrea left for us. It was nice to have air conditioning, but the one unit in the hallway wasn’t really enough to cool the place. There was a nice fan that proved to be useful to help circulate some of the cool air to the rest of the apartment. Wonderful stay, wonderful host!
