Luca was very accommodating and allowed us to drop off our bags before the official check in time after our flight arrived early in the morning. He provided us with a map, helped us get oriented with the city and provided us with some local restaurant recommendations (we went to both and they were great!). The location is perfect for exploring the Colosseum and surrounding attractions but wasn't far from the metro (subway), trams, and bus lines (we look all three with relative ease) to explore the rest of the city. Walking around the city was also relatively easy - all other major sites seemed to be withing 25-40 minutes walk of the apartment. Walking home in the evening, we felt very safe. One of the coolest aspects of the apartment was walking home at night and seeing the illuminated Colosseum. Great place to stay in Rome!
