The week my wife and I spent in Andrea’s place we felt completely at home. The apartment is comfortable and well laid out; it feels roomier than it looks in the pictures. The kitchen and bath are modern and efficient, and the washing machine on the balcony was very convenient. (We hung up the clean clothes in the morning and they were dry by that evening). There’s plenty of hot water, and everything works.
The apartment is also quiet, something that is very important to me. It’s up on the fourth floor, and the walls are thick: we never heard any noise from the neighbors. With the front windows open you can hear some street noise (happy sounds of people in the restaurants downstairs), but close the windows and there is complete silence. I’m not exaggerating that. The windows, both in the front and the back, are new and high-tech; they completely block out exterior sounds. I slept like a baby while I was there.
We met Andrea once, and he’s a charming fellow, helpful and solicitous. I want to thank him for making our stay in Rome so pleasant.
