My boyfriend and I stayed 2 nights at Andrea's flat. We had a really lovely time. It is a very well decorated flat, he clearly is very house proud and style conscious. There was plenty of room, and a separate kitchen and dining area so it felt very homey. In terms of location I thought it was fabulous. If you want to distance yourself from the tourist hoards it is a lot more peaceful. It is basically right next to the Vatican and only about 15 minutes walk to the centre. A lot of public transport connections nearby too so really easy to get around all areas of Rome from there.

Andrea was an extremely helpful host and always answered messages very quickly. The key handover was seamless. Also, my boyfriend and I wanted to go to the Vatican and bought tickets online in advance to we didn't have to queue up. This meant we needed to print out tickets, and Andrea was kind enough to print them out for us and even deliver them to the flat. Extremely kind of him.

The only thing I would say is that I got a little confused as I think Andrea also markets the flat as a B&B so part of me was maybe thinking there was breakfast somehow and there wasn't but that was maybe more my confusion from some of the reviews that also made mention of breakfast. Either way, there was a great fresh fruit market nearby and we just bought breakfast there so all was fine in the end!
