Andrea was a great host right from the minute I made the booking. He responded very quickly and answered all my questions and concerns readily. Prior to my trip he advised me on where to drop my rental car and while I was taking a taxi from the airport, he prevented the taxi driver from cheating 12 euros from me on my trip to town by waiting for me downstairs of the apartment. After unloading our luggage, he helped us carry our luggage and up two flights of stairs to the apartment and I felt really bad but he insisted. The apartment was as listed and the central location blew us away. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and the bed is nice and big. The area felt very safe and there's even a taxi stand nearby. Amazing gelato, pasta and pizza is just a few steps away. This apartment definitely beats staying at hotels and Andrea is a reliable host. I would not hesitate to book this place again in my future trips to Rome.
