As this was my first time using Airbnb, I was a little apprehensive of things going wrong but with Luca's place, all my fears were left behind! From the moment we got to the apartment, everything was a dream! Luca met us there on time, which was fantastic after a long morning of traveling. The apartment was absolutely gorgeous and spotless and he had thought of everything - extra blankets if we needed them, extra towels, umbrellas (which were necessary for us), a map of Rome with all his favorite places to eat (We tried seven on the list and all of them were amazing) as well as a welcome bottle of wine and pizza which was incredibly sweet! I actually feel none of my other Airbnb experiences will ever live up to this first one! The location, which I was a little worried was out of the way, is actually perfect. Very close to the subway (which is also on Luca's great map) and right next to the Vatican and my husband and I walked every day to the Campo dei Fiori neighborhood and at most that took us about 20 minutes and it was a beautiful walk. The apartment was quiet and I've never slept in such a comfortable bed in my life! Also helps that it was right by the best gelato I've ever had. Can't say enough great things about this apartment and Luca's hospitality! Only wish he airbnb'd over cities as well!

We will definitely be back in Rome and staying at one of Luca's places again!
