Luca was an excellent host. He responded promptly to all of our communications and was at the apartment when we arrived. He also offered very good recommendations for restaurants and entertainment.
The apartment was as advertised: fairly large, with a very well-stocked kitchen, and it's centrally located. We walked to all of the sites in Rome's old city. The furnishings are comfortable, and Luca has a nice art collection. It feels very homey. The street noise (mostly pedestrians) can be loud at night, but if you close the windows and turn on the A/C (if needed), it blocks out most of the noise. The apartment interior is a bit dark, as many old places are. There are 53 stone steps leading up to the apartment, which was not a problem for us, but could be for anyone with mobility issues. The value was good, given the excellent location and condition of the apartment.
