Andrea's place was perfect for me and my girlfriend. It was situated in a cool neighborhood where there are a lot of restaurants and bars frequented by locals. This is a perfect refuge from the maddening crowds you encounter when you go around Rome. We love the COHOME vibe of the place, i say its a hostel but with privacy. We get to hangout with Andrea and the other guests in the living room and dining area but have our own room if we want some private time. His "green friendly" philosophy is so cool; everything in the apartment is pre-loved and the breakfast is organic and sourced locally.

The best thing about the place is Andrea, one of the nicest hosts we've met. He waited for us and made us very welcome despite arriving very late from a delayed flight. He also helped us get to his place from the airport (it was 2am and buses were scarce). Took us to a nice outdoor concert (Angus and Julia Stone) by the lake with his friends - we would never known about it if it weren't for him. He also gave us terrific recommendations on how to go about our sightseeing in Rome.

I HIGHLY recommend Andrea's place to anyone wanting to see Rome from a local's POV. It is also a good place to meet like minded people whom you can experience the city with. So stay with Andrea and experience cool Rome is.

PS. Check out his "recommendations" on his website beforehand so you can plan it accordingly to your existing IT
