Although we didn't eventually meet Andrea in the end I must say that he was a real pleasure to deal with before and during our time at the beautiful loft flat in Rome. The flat was as shown in the pictures and was in a really great location to get to the Vatican and over the river to everything else we wanted to see in Rome fairly quickly.

The recommendations were very much welcomed although we only made it to one restaurant on the list which happened to be a great little place. Also, the recommendation of Suppli was appreciated as I wouldn't have known to give this a try had it not been for Andrea's email.

All in all I'd say this was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend both the flat that we stayed in and Andrea as a host. Thank you Andrea!
