Andrea’s place is a hidden gem, tucked away amid Rome’s hustle. It’s one, small room that’s perfect for a single visitor like me. I imagine it might be a cozy retreat for a couple - but no more.
Access to the top floor flat is gained by the world’s smallest elevator or a series of looping stairs. If you have any luggage you crowd the lift and may need a repeat trip.
The room is wonderful, clean and efficient. The kitchen is a cupboard closet. Cool. Not much closets space but I didn’t need or want more.
The water closet and shower, like everything else, is tight and tiny. No problem.
If I weren’t alone or had more time I might have used the balcony seating. Again small and cramped but oh so lovely.
And, as an extra special touch, Andrea arranged a car service for my very early morning run to the airport. That made my stay perfect.
Don’t know when or if I’ll get back to Rome. But I’d be sure to stay here and will suggest to globetrotting friends.
