Luca was an excellent host and his apartment was beautiful. The apartment was well appointed and you are near to a bakery, coffee shop, mini mart and tons of restaurants all within a few feet outside your door. The bus and tram lines are nearby if you are going further around Rome but you are truly in a walkable location.
We ate in the neighborhood just about every night. Luca recommended Antico da Carlone, easy walk from the apartment and we can highly recommend it! Stop by and make a reservation and share a pasta - the servings are massive. Tonnarello on the other side of the street also provided an amazing dinner.
You truly feel like you are a local in the neighborhood which adds immensely to the experience of Rome.
