I stayed in Lucia’s apartment for a second month and the compelling reasons are (surprise, surprise!) the same as the first month! Fortunately, my reasons are still the same - which should mean something.
1. Host: Lucia is the most responsive, thoughtful and kind host you can ever ask for. When you stay for months, there will inevitably be times when you need help, Lucia will be there for you;
2. Cleanliness: Ricky keeps the apartment sparkling clean. He comes every week to change the linen and clean the apartment;
3. Fully equipped kitchen: do you want to make a panini with the fresh bread you bought from the corner bakery? Lucia has a panini maker, drip coffee? Espresso? Dishwasher? Washer? Lucia has you covered.
4. Apartment: Comfortable queen sized bed and soft comforter & separate work table with WiFi;
5. Location, location, location! If you have ever dreamt of la Bella vita in Italy. This is the place to stay. You have the corner bakery around the corner, the daily fresh vegetable market, butcher and organic supermarket in Campo de fiori, and access to gelato and restaurants within walking distance.
6. History: you are right at theatro di pompeo where the infamous murder of Julius Caesar took place and you walk through an ancient tunnel that takes you directly to campo de fiori in 2 minutes;
7. Tourism: you are walking distance from anything you want to visit in historical center of Rome. Eight minutes to the Pantheon, 15 minutes to Trevi fountain. You can even take an evening run to Villa Borghese or Villa Doria Pamphili;
8. Do you really need any more reasons?
