My boyfriend and I stayed at Andrea's place for a few days while in Rome. Communication up to and during our stay was quick and easy. The apartment itself was wonderful, and the location was perfect. A few minutes' walk from the Forum and the Colosseum, with easy access to local public transportation. Once you're a couple blocks back from the Colosseum (and therefore without the view) there are some amazing restaurants and bars nearby, as well as a convenience store and pharmacy in case you forgot anything. Andrea was a wonderful host and even left a bottle of prosecco in the fridge for us to enjoy! A great place to stay for our first trip to Rome!
