Andrea was a great host! We arrived ahead of check-in, in the midst of a downpour and he was easy to reach and connect with to allow us to drop our luggage at the apartment and get it out of the rain while we grabbed some lunch and waited for the apartment to be ready. He was quick and responsive to any of our questions as well during our stay!

The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and well furnished. The location of the apartment is a bit of a mixed bag. It's wonderfully located near the Colosseum, Forum, etc. as well as the B line metro. There's even a nice market right around the corner. So it makes a nice home base if you're looking to primarily explore that area.

However, after we had explored the sites in the local proximity we found it to be a bit of a slog to get to and from the apartment to explore other districts. Constantly having to fight through the Colosseum crowds and endless selfie stick sellers gets a bit old.

As others have mentioned, the apartment is also located very near a handful of bars so the noise can be a bit of an issue. Even with the windows closed up we had issues with noise from the bars on the side street the bedroom window looks out to. Lots of shouting and loud conversations until 2-3AM.

Even worse than the street noise though was the noise that came through from the adjacent unit that shares the bedroom wall. Possibly another AirBnB? The walls between these two units seemed very thin and we could regularly hear the conversations, laughter, and music from the people next door as if they were in the apartment with us. They were also unfortunately very early risers so we were typically woken up by them only a couple of hours after the street noise died down.

Overall, Andrea was a great host and the apartment itself was wonderfully equipped. Unfortunately for us the location ended up being more of a negative than a positive.
