Luca's place is in a great position for the history buff on the Palatine Hill. Most major ancient attractions, like the Forum,Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, are a walk away if you are even moderately fit. There are some nice restaurants nearby and a small supermarket within few hundred meters if you want to cook your own meals. The accommodation is quite spacious with a good kitchen, big bed and excellent air conditioning. We used Cicro Massimo metro to travel around but a reasonable level of fitness is required to walk the 600 meters or so the station. It was our second stay at Luca's pace and we could be back again.
