Absolutely exquisite! Rita is warm, gracious, and knows absolutely everything about Rome. I stayed in her apartment for three and a half months while conducting doctoral research in Rome, and her company and her apartment were the highlights of my stay.

When I arrived, fresh flowers and a basket filled with fresh peaches and grapes created an immediate sense of welcome. That sensation continued throughout my extended stay: her apartment itself is modern, light-filled, and immaculately clean. It's a very tranquil place to return to after a hectic day running around the city.

Having stayed in countless AirBnBs for work over the years, I can say without reservations that Luna Bianca is my favorite. I appreciated that Rita kept her apartment stocked will all the essentials (extra towels, blankets, dishware of all sorts, guides to the neighborhood) but nothing unnecessary (random knickknacks and such). You get to feel like the apartment is really *yours* during your time in Rome.

The location is also ideal - an easy and pleasant walk to the city center, or a quick ride on what may be the only reliable transportation in town (the #8 tram). There is a grocery store directly below the apartment, plus laundry places, small shops, and a miniature playground where families come to chat. It's a wonderful neighborhood, and as a woman traveling alone I felt safe at all hours. (The doormen are also very nice, and can help you if you have packages arriving.)

But again, Rita is the true highlight: any little question, anything you need help with, she will get back to you right away. So, for example, if a lightbulb blows, or if you want to know who sells the best walnuts during their brief November/December season, Rita will have an answer for you right away. In my case, she let me borrow several items from her kitchen so that I could hold an American Thanksgiving in Rome. And she is also just wonderful to hang out with! We enjoyed many coffees and lunches together, and I miss those already.

I could go on and on about all the extra little things that Rita does to make one's stay at her apartment in Rome a wonderful one, but highly suggest that you visit her in Trastevere to find out for yourself!
