Luca was a great host. The location is fabulous for easy access to Santa Maria Maggiore, the coliseum and palatine hill/forum. Close to the metro. There are many nice little cafes and restaurants nearby with friendly staff.
The room was very clean, private and the bed comfortable. Great shower: lots of strong hot water. The building has a darling old elevator...charming. I'd definitely stay there on my next trip to Rome.
