Luca went above and beyond my expectations as a host. Even prior to arrival, he provided assistance with transportation tips, as not to get taken advantage of.
The neighborhood was a great location to go by foot to all of the highlights we wanted to see. In addition, there were amazing restaurants within blocks, and several small markets to buy local delicacies and wine.
The apartment was huge. Living in a loft in NYC, I am fond of vast space. With 2 full baths, it made traveling with my colleague seamless, as we each had our own spaces when needed. We also had a the luxury of new appliances including a dishwasher and the real bonus was a washer/dryer.
Decor was right up my alley, clean, white and gray. Very chic, yet warm and airy at the same time. A great balance.
The icing on the cake was Luca even arrived for private transportation to the airport that was very affordable, and door to door.
I had only a few days in Rome, and will definitely be going back. I will seek out Luca's rental again on my next trip. The place and the host are 5 star in my book, and I am pretty high maintenance!
