We had high expectations for this apartment based on all the fantastic reviews, and despite the high expectations, Luigi and his apartment surpassed them. What a beautiful space, thoughtfully decorated, fantastic location for exploring historic sites and the Monti neighbourhood (where we went to Fatamorgana for gelato each day). I was wondering how the noise level would be being so close to the Colosseum, but the soundproofing windows were great and we slept soundly on the comfortable beds each night.
The personal touches really set this place apart. Having spent almost a month in Italy at various air bnbs, Luigi is the superstar of super hosts. He met us personally at the apartment and unloaded our bags, helped to arrange car service so I could pick up my 15 year old niece joining us (and our 5 year old) for our stay (and car service to take us back to the airport at the end of our stay), the fridge had some staples in it to help us with breakfast, a delicious lemon cake awaited us in the kitchen, and there was a welcome bottle of prosecco for our first evening. Luigi pointed out some local places - all of which were delicious. Upon leaving, Luigi met us downstairs and again loaded our bags into the car. All with a warm genuine smile.
We would not hesitate to recommend the apartment and hope to be lucky enough ourselves to return to the apartment the next time we are in Rome. Grazie mille per tutto Luigi!
