Andrea is a wonderful, thoughtful host. His apartment...living space, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen...was clean and very quiet. He was very helpful to me to find his apartment, as well as to help me find the sights I wanted to see in Rome. His apartment is strategically located. While initially I thought it was too far out of the city, I soon realized that it's very close proximity to a train station and two trams made his apartment ideal. A 5 minute walk and I was on a tram to the center of Rome. I wanted for my adventure to Rome to live as the Romans do...and I did. He lives in a residential neighborhood, and on Sundays there is a huge open air market near his home where I experienced many things about Roman life as I strolled through the booths. I shopped in local stores to get breakfast food. I was a bit concerned about no air conditioning, only fans. But talking with Andrea I learned about his concern for the environment, a concern that is very important to me too. Knowing that, I found it very comfortable to sleep during the heat of July. The fan sound soothed me to a sound sleep and I was always well rested. The bed was very comfortable for me. I highly recommend Andrea's apartment for your home in Rome.
