Luca was the best host I've ever had on Airbnb. He was always prompt to all of my inquires, followed through on all the things he said he would do, and the place was accurately depicted in the photographs.

My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Luca's place and would stay there again in a heartbeat. That said, nothing is perfect, and below are a few takeaways:

1. On our visit, we heard a lot of bass from neighboring music on Friday and Saturday nights. A couple of apartments down appeared to be some sort of dance club -- my wife and I were a little surprised given that the facade does not appear to be for a club/bar. Perhaps this was an impromptu party, but the bass was very audible. It began around 10:30 PM lasted until approximately 1:30 AM. Once the music was off, the apartment is as quiet as a library all hours of the day.

2. The location of the apartment is fantastic. The neighborhood is within a mile or two walking distance of many of the big-ticket items that you'll likely want to see in Rome. We rarely needed to use a taxi.

3. Like other comments, I too would highly recommend that Luca arrange a driver to/from the airport. The drivers were prompt and very friendly. This is a feature I've never experienced with Airbnb in the past and it makes a huge difference.

4. The shower is very narrow. I'm a slender 6'4" tall man, but the shower is really narrow. I'm in Europe every year, so I understand the bathtubs/showers run small, but this seemed to be one of the more narrow showers I've experienced.

In short, Luca and the apartment are really fantastic.
