Andres’s place was very nice and clean. It was more than enough space for my husband and I as well as our six month old twins. Andrea even provided us with a playpen for our babies to sleep in. The apartment seemed to be very safe and secure and there is a 24 hour market in very close proximity. We went to the market quite a few times during our stay. But, keep in mind you will need to pay for your groceries in euros. There is also an atm in close proximity to Andrea’s apartment so no worries. If you are looking to visit the colosseum and to be in a short walking distance to the train station Andrea’s apartment is in the perfect location. The colosseum is literally right behind the apartment and the train station is less than 10 minutes away. Andrea was very polite, and accommodating he offered tips and approximate walking distances to the the main tourist attractions. Also, things to look out for in terms of being safe. One of the things we truly appreciated was the fact that Andrea was able to book us private transportation to and from the airport. Even though there are other forms of transportation to get to Andrea’s place with two babies and luggage the private transportation was well worth the fee. It made our trip a lot less stressful. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Rome at Andrea’s apartment and would recommend it to our family and friends.
