Staying at Andrea's apartment was a pleasure. The ease of communication allowed my wife and I to drop-off our bags hours before check-in and begin exploring the city. Andrea also left us a bottle of prosecco upon arrival, a nice touch that we used to make Aperol spritzes.

The apartment is quite large and overlooks ancient ruins (you can see them from the bed) and, if you look 90-degrees to the left out the windows, the Colosseum. The air conditioning worked fairly well in 95-degree August heat in Rome and we slept comfortably. The shower was fine, except that the ceiling was a bit low for someone 6'4'' like myself.

We explored the adjoining neighborhoods (Monti & San Giovanni) and absolutely loved our time there. This location can't be beat, especially for access to the Colosseum and the Forum.
