This apartment was perfect. When I randomly decided to do a solo trip to Rome, Italy, friends recommended the Trastevere neighborhood for food, nightlife, and overall walkability to other parts of the city. Andrea's apartment is in the best location, with taxi/train stops and delicious restaurants just steps away.
The apartment was clean and tidy, and the right size for my seven-day trip. Since I had to work remotely for part of the trip, the reliability of the Wifi was important to me and I'm happy to say it was consistently fast and more than able to support the many video call meetings that my job requires.
Andrea himself was very kind and helpful. As my arrival date approached, he reached out to me and offered to arrange a reserved car for transportation from the airport, which I gladly accepted as I'm a woman traveling alone and would be getting into a new country after-dark. If you're interested in this option, the cost was 50 Euro which is equivalent to or less than the cost to get a taxi (sometimes they can charge more at night) and the driver met me at the entrance of the airport without a hitch.
Andrea met me immediately as the car dropped me off in front of the apartment, so I wasn't standing and waiting on the streets with my bags. He was so cheerful and excited to show me around, and I immediately felt welcome. He let me know that if I needed anything during my stay, or a reserved car for my return trip, all I had to do was reach out.
As a solo-woman traveller, I have to say that I never felt unsafe in the apartment, neighborhood, or rest of the city for that matter. The apartment is in a very secure building, and over the course of the week I walked the majority of the city at all different times of day without ever feeling like I was in danger. Granted I'm from a major city so I'm used to staying alert and not loosely swinging my bag about for the taking, but my time in Rome was filled with only positive experiences. Everyone I met was very kind, and polite about my embarrassing lack of Italian.
I wish so badly that I could have extended my stay by another week or more, and I'll certainly be returning one day. Andrea is an excellent host and I can't recommend him enough!
