Upon our arrival Luca was very helpful, not only by carrying our bags up the stairs, but by also giving us advice about the area. He supplied us with a binder of restaurant recommendations which we used with great success several times. My family and I loved it that Luca's place was perfectly situated between the Termini train station and the ancient ruins of Rome, and was around the corner from the "Cavour" metro stop. Walking to everything was very convenient. We did some cooking in the apartment so we were glad there was a fresh produce market only a few blocks away that was open six mornings a week, and many food shops in the immediate area. We really appreciated how neat and clean and simple the apartment was and took advantage of the air conditioning on some hot July nights. Overall, we had a great time staying in the apartment and would highly recommend "Monti Colosseo" to anyone visiting Rome for its location, value and the hospitality of the host , Luca.
