We were so lucky to have found Andrea's apartment for our stay in Rome. It was so very close (like just down the street - 1 block) from the Colosseum. The apartment itself was very spacious and came with everything we needed including much room to spread out. Very nice indeed and very safe - also within proximity to many good restaurants and shops if you need anything. (needless to say we didn't need any more leather from across the street, but...we did)! Thanks Andrea!
