We had a great time in Rome and Luisa's place was a big part of that. It was quite large and light, in a truly local neighborhood. The buses to the more touristy sections of Rome were half a block away and we ended up buying monthly passes and taking the bus and metro everywhere as well as doing plenty of walking. There were restaurants and grocery stores and an enormous vegetable market close by, not to mention the Vatican and its museum, which we visited on a Friday night when there was no line and it wasn't crowded at all. The apartment was clean and the bed/sofa bed were both comfortable. We stayed for sixteen days, my husband and I and our two kids, 14 and 11. Luisa was a very thoughtful host and helped us print our plane tickets and arranged a ride to the airport at 4:30 am on a Sunday morning (St. Peter's Day). I highly recommend this apartment. In hectic, hot (late June), touristy Rome, it was a cool, quiet oasis.
