We stayed at Andrea's apartment in Rome (near the Spanish Steps) for 3 nights. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenage kids) was very comfortable and we were very impressed with Andrea and the apartment. Andrea is a fabulous host. He met us in front of the apartment and greeted us with kindness. Rather than handing us the keys and leaving, he walked with us into the apartment and gave us a tour of the facilities. At the apartment, Andrea provided us with maps and directions to major sights, and he showed us where everything was and how everything worked in the apartment. He even left us some pastries -- a generous and unexpected touch. We were impressed with the size of the apartment. It was much larger in-person than it seemed on the posting. There is a Queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, a Queen-sized fold-out bed in the large living room, and a fold-out single bed in the front sitting room. That alone provided separate beds for parents and at least 2 kids. There were 4 of us in our party, so we each had our own bed and bedroom. Plus, a large couch can provide an additional sleeping area, if desired. The apartment contained 2 toilets in separate rooms, each with their own sinks. Also, there was a bathtub with shower, a clothes washing machine, small refrigerator, gas cook top, and a small but ample kitchen. There is a powerful air conditioning unit in the master bedroom. Although there is no air conditioning in the other rooms, a fan in the living area with the large fold-out bed helps to cool the room and circulate air. We were there during the summer and it was extremely hot outside. Even so, the apartment was comfortable. The apartment is ideally situated close to the Spanish Steps. It's around a 5 minute walk to the Spanish Steps. From there, all of the sights of Rome are at your fingertips. We walked extensively during our trip, including to the Vatican (which most people take a cab or bus to visit). Andrea's apartment was easy to find and a relaxing spot to return to. It is also 1-2 blocks away from major bus lines. The apartment is within a secured building. From a safety standpoint, the large doors from the street into the building's courtyard are closed and locked at night. After dark and in the morning, you can enter the courtyard only with a key (which Andrea provides). From the courtyard, another key is required to enter the apartment area and the lift/elevator. Then, a third key is required to enter Andrea's apartment. All 3 keys are provided. We felt very safe and secure during our stay. The apartment is quiet too. We didn't hear any of the neighbors or street noise. Overall, Andrea is a wonderful host and the apartment is lovely and larger than expected. Towels and linen were clean. When we visit Rome again, there is no...
