Andrea is an informative and social host, proud of his neighborhood, San Lorenzo, which he's been a habitant of for more than a decade. He takes part in several actions, protests and causes related to the welfare of this society and encourages you to join him in doing so (but of course nothing is a must).

Transportation-wise it's a convenient location; Termini station is in walking distance, downtown takes 4-5 stops by tram and the seaside is only 40 minutes away by train.

Although San Lorenzo is a rather rough district, Andrea's home is neat and I would encourage anyone to give the surrounding restaurants a try as some of them serve exceptional meals you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Osteria da Marcello has hands down the best Italian meals, and the guys at I Fratelli will make the juiciest pizza you'll ever taste.
But stay away from the late Pasolini's favorable Pommidoro, as they let cleanliness sink way too low on on their priority list in 40 years, if they managed to put a plate of salad on our table with a 3 cm long insect in it.

Otherwise we had a good time at Andrea's, and I have to add that the tiny and quiet San Lorenzo room is the best one in his flat. Thank you for letting us stay there.
