What a great apartment! Luca met us outside the door & insisted on carrying in our luggage. He showed us around and explained how everything worked. He also showed us the local market about 2 blocks away. The apartment was decorated with his paintings and other pieces of art. It was exceptionally clean and maintained. The location is very central and we walked everywhere. There's a Metro stop within a few blocks of the location.
The apartment itself is spacious, is within locked/gated group of buildings with a central courtyard. There is a very nice patio to relax on and have a glass of wine that overlooks the courtyard. The bathroom looked like it had been recently remodeled and was incredible (Shower only, no tub). Full kitchen, fridge/freezer, iron & ironing board, espresso maker. One of the big bonus's for us was A/C. As temps climbed into the low 90'sF, it was refreshing to come back from a long day, take a shower, and get a good nights rest in cool temps. The mattresses were very comfortable.
If you're looking for a centrally located spot (Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, Colosseum than this is it. Also right in the shopping district.
If you're looking for a great host, pick this place. Luca had a bottle of wine waiting for us, was kind enough to have our clothes laundered as he was in the process of installing a new washer. He also drove us to the central train station on the morning of our departure.
