Andrea was very friendly and helpful both before and during our trip (he sent directions and instructions for our arrival and answered my many questions by email!) On our arrival at the apartment he was very welcoming and brought us in some yoghurts and drinks which was appreciated! The apartment was lovely and cosy, as well as being clean and well-equipped. The loft room is very charming, although avoid if you are scared of heights or have mobility problems. My friend slept in the loft room and I slept on the sofa bed and both were comfortable. In terms of location the apartment is very well situated for the Vatican (10 minute walk) but we would suggest getting the Metro for other sights such as the Colosseum (it took us 45 minutes to walk there!). I would also highly recommend eating at the friendly, family- run restaurant right next door to the apartment; great food and value for money.
Overall, this was a great experience and we enjoyed staying at the apartment – thanks Andrea!
