I absolutely loved my stay of three days in Luca's apt in Rome. Great great location, within 15 min walk are the Colosseo, forum and Venetian plaza. 15 meters away is an embassy which is very safe, and down the street is my favorite "secret spot" - a fresh farmer's market!
The room is clean and well equipped with a decent kitchen, washing machine and a clothes hanger. It's bright in daytime and quiet at night. The night stroll to the ancient remains is convenient and refreshing. Luca himself is very responsive and kind.
I feel lucky to be able to book this place. I will book it again if I ever come back to Rome (and if it's available - this place is popular!)
