Andrea's daughter Giulia met us at the apartment and we had no problems getting the keys. She mentioned where good restaurants were (she wasn't lying, we went twice to one of them in our 4-day stay!) and offered to keep in touch in case we had any questions while in Rome. The apartment was perfect for what we needed. We walked just about everywhere (the Colosseum was the furthest away, about a 30-minute walk) and I'd suggest you do the same as you simply stumble upon ancient ruins by walking the streets of Rome. We felt very safe and comfortable in the apartment and it even started to feel like "home." We didn't cook anything there but there was ample supplies to do so should you want. We loved our stay here and would recommend the apartment to anyone. Side note: This is a 3rd floor walkup, so keep that in mind when booking if you do not do well with stairs.
