Lucia's apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos! It is unique and authentic! Lucia gave us detailed directions on getting there from the airport by taxi, train, or bus. We took the bus one way and the train one way. We took the metro which was a few blocks away to the Vatican and walked easily to the colosseum for a walking tour. It was all easy.
Lucia met us at check in and gave us a map with restaurant suggestions etc. We enjoyed the neighborhood, especially buying salami and cheese at the local salami shop!
We loved every minute of our Rome visit and would highly recommend staying at Lucia's apartment!
