Luca arranged for us to be picked up from the airport and was at the apartment to greet us. Luca was great and went out of his way to make our stay there wonderful! The apartment was clean, well furnished, and was in the best location! We were a 5 minute walk to St. Peter Square and equally close to the Metro. Good restaurants were there and a market since we cooked some. The bed was more comfortable than mine at home. We were on a Holy Week pilgrimage so location was very important and this apartment certainly fit for comfort and location. We could even hear the bells of St. Peter's. Loved the old vintage elevator- it looked like it came straight out of the movie, The Kings Speech. The apartment was also very close to the Vatican Museum as well as some nice shops! Luca told us where the best Gelato and pasta was and it was to die for! Luca was also able to connect me to places where I wanted unusual items. He was very prompt in getting back to us too. The area was totally safe. If you want a nice, clean, airy apartment close to fantastic places, this is the place for you! Luca was a great host- he had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. He also arranged for a driver to take us to the airport when we left. I have been to Rome 4 times, and will never stay in a hotel again. This apartment is where I'll be when I return. Personally I'd like to rent this apartment for about a year!! Love Italy, love Rome, and hated to leave. Absolutely this trip was fantastic!!
