Luca was the perfect host, as all the other reviews foretold. We emailed with questions about the apartment and general travel, and his replies were quick, accurate and very pleasant and encouraging. He met us at our taxi a block away, helped with our luggage, and spend about an hour answering our questions about Rome--way beyond what any hotel concierge would have done. We loved the apartment, with more room to spread out than a hotel, and charming Italian vignettes happening in the plaza right outside our window (but quiet when the window was closed!). Staying in this apartment was the perfect experience in Rome--excellent location, comfortable, easy, clean, quiet--better than being home. Wish we were there now! We will definitely suggest it to friends and family--and you.
