Staying at Luca's apartment in the first few weeks of March gave us a perfect place to launch our trips into the different areas of Rome. It's situation is ideal for finding transport (head down to Via Luigi Petroselli and you'll surely find a bus). Food wise, we found San Teo down the street is nice for a breakfast croissant (and an expresso if you'd like - though it's a place of rapid turnaround!). Other restaurants aren't too far away.
The apartment itself is great: secure, well situated, well kept. Returning to a warm, restful apartment after a days worth of touring and eating gelatto was a nice end to our days. The only downsides were the noisy neighbours (classical music at near midnight) and the noisy cobbled street outside. The large (very large!) bed also felt a bit lumpy. However, none of this detracted from our stay in Rome and shouldn't deter you from coming to stay at this lovely apartment!

Thanks to Luca and his father for accommodating our travel plans and allowing us to store our luggage on the last day after checkout.
