We had a lovely stay at Luca and Marilla's.
Luca and Marilla were friendly and helpful and made us feel very much at home in their flat. They respected our privacy but were easily available if we needed any help or advice. They were lovely, warm people, and very caring.
Breakfast was generous and delicious, laid out every morning in their kitchen. We had our own bathroom and the room had a lovey balcony.
The flat is not in the centre of Rome and it did take a quite a long time to get in and out of Rome on the number 81 bus, sometimes nearly an hour if the traffic was bad. It might be better to get the 50 to the train station and get another bus from there, but Luca will be happy to advise! There were good points about not being in the centre of Rome. It was great to discover a more local area, where true Romans live. Pigneto is a university area so it was very lively in the evenings, with lots of bars for aperitivos, some lovely local restaurants and a farmers' market every morning, so there were definitely some great advantages about not being in the centre.
The room was comfortable and very peaceful, being away from the main street, we slept VERY well!
Grazie Mile Luca and Marilla and look forward to seeing you at your hotel Cantabria in the future!
Many thanks,
Grace and Mary
