Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to meet Andrea in person. However, he was very efficient in making arrangements for me while he was away. I must say that I greatly enjoyed having the whole flat to myself! But, I could tell from the extensive and tasteful collection of books and vinyl albums, that Andrea is an interesting person and we would have had great conversations! His flat was very clean and in a great location. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the metro station that goes throughout the city. There were several grocery shops nearby and plenty of food places to choose from. The delicious chocolates in the refrigerator were a pleasant surprise!
