The stay at Andrea's place was just perfect and made us enjoy every day of our trip to Rome!
Andrea is an artist and at the same time he is a very nice and helpful host. He gave us a lot of information on where to go, where to get authentical food and how to move inside the city. But he also told us a lot about the Italian way of life and the society. He even cooked pasta for us one evening and he showed us arround in the neighborhood. He spends a lot of time for his guests to make their stay pleasant.
Andrea´s apartment is simply furnished and decorated mainly with his own artwork. This creates a plane but individual and comfortable ambience. Our bedroom as well as the rest of the apartment were tidy and clean. Equipment for making coffee and tea was ready at the time of our arrival.
Andrea´s flat is located in Garbatella. This neigbourhood is a beautiful, calm, non-touristic but green area so it was perfect to recover from sightseeing in the centre. There are many places for having an authentic Italian dinner among local people as well as a drink in walking distance. The centre of Rome is accessible by a direct bus in front of the door taking about 20 minutes. Next metro station is reachable by foot in 10 minutes.
Many thanks to Andrea, who gave us insights into the real Rome and Italy. He made our visit to Rome very agreeable and an unforgetable experience!
