Andrea came to the rescue after we'd gone in the opposite direction on the main drag near the Metro train station. (I think the map in the station might be oriented incorrectly -- That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!) He met us at a corner and walked us to the apartment. (I was a bit taken aback because he now sports a full beard -- unlike in his profile picture.) Easy access to the Metro, plenty of room for five guests and Wi-Fi are only three of the great reasons to rent Andrea's apartment. He was very quick to fix any problems we had (a plumbing issue and the need for specialized restaurant information). Some of our family members have dietary restrictions, and Andrea provided us a list of a couple of nearby restaurants with gluten-free options. He was also kind enough to let us drop our gear at his place after checkout so we could get the most out of sight-seeing on our last day. A misunderstanding: Our stay was at the beginning of summer (June 22 to 25, 2015) when Rome is already hot. I could have sworn that his listing mentioned air conditioning, but it turned out that only one apartment in the building had air conditioning -- and it wasn't ours! Many of the rooms have fans so we showered in the evening and didn't move around too much, and we were fine. An added benefit: Renting an apartment gave me peace of mind. I felt that being in a neighborhood (rather than staying in a hotel) would make us less of a target, and the reasonable price (compared to two hotel rooms for three nights) allowed me to spend more on souvenirs!
