When I travel, location is the most important factor when finding lodging. Andrea's place was in the heart of Rome, right next to the Colosseum and Forum and in close proximity to the Metro, bus, restaurants, cafes. His apartment was very clean and stocked with tourist information/guides/books. I slept on the sofa bed, which was a tad uncomfortable, but the master bed was quite lovely. There is AC, which is a plus in sweltering August Rome. Excellent WiFi as well. Great deal!
