Andrea's apartment is a lovely place to stay! Andrea was very communicative and easy to reach when I had any questions. Our plane landed somewhat late in the evening on a weeknight and I had heard customs can be bad so I didn't want to be a bother to Andrea. I asked for the self check-in which was a breeze and it relieved any stress I might have had about meeting Andrea in time (since customs took almost an hour). The apartment was spotless and smelled great, which is so appreciated after traveling for 15+ hours. I liked the charm of the building; it has character. The elevator is tiny but it was completely reliable and I was comfortable using it with my heavy bags. My sister is a bit claustrophobic so she opted for the stairs. Although there are a few it was still doable to get the bags up (via the stairs) as well. I also really liked the location. It is a VERY lively area, which I loved. I didn't find it too noisy as the windows shut out the extra sounds. You are within walking distance of a ton of restaurants and bars and a fun atmosphere. The Colosseum is within steps of the apartment, which you can't beat! And it was perfect because our time in Rome was extremely short. I have been to Rome before but my sister hadn't so it was a great place to be so that I could get her out to see a couple of the more popular sights quickly and easily before we had to leave for Venice. We really loved it and appreciated Andrea's hospitality!
