Andrea is a wonderful, responsive host. Living in the building certainly is a plus. He resolved any issues we brought to his attention. It's a lovely apartment, and you couldn't ask for anything closer to the Colosseum. The neighborhood was lively and entertaining. But if you are 6' tall or over, you will need to duck in all the places there are steps, since adding the loft lowered the ceiling height. That means when you enter, going up to the living room and up to the bathroom/kitchen, as well as up the steps to the loft. Luckily, Andrea has added "emergency foam" on the ceiling so you can protect your head! The loft bed was amazing. The best night's rest I had in Italy.
