Andrea's apartment was fantastic. First of all, the location is exceptional. You can almost touch the Colosseum from the window. It's a 10 minute walk to Termini train station and 10 minutes to the main historical district of Rome. Within the area surrounding the apartment are some great restaurants and wine bars. The district of Monti is less than 10 minutes walk away where there are some fantastic bars and restaurants. The Colosseum metro station is two mins walk away but I never used it, so central as I was.
The apartment was fantastic. It was large and split level on the 4th floor (with elevator). The bed was incredibly comfortable and was great for this insomniac. The wifi was fast and the shower was lovely. I loved the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen - very retro Italian.
Andrea was very fast at replying to messages and very professional. He left a bottle of process for my arrival which was a nice touch. Alas, I never got to drink it as I was always out seeing the city and walking around.
I would most certainly return to this apartment next time I am in Rome.
