Luca was a wonderful host! He was always quick to reply to our questions both before and during our stay at his apartment. He was not able to meet with us when we first arrived, but his mother came to welcome us and let us in. She showed us around the apartment and familiarized us with a map of the city to help us get around easier. We also got excellent recommendations from both Luca and his mom on places to eat. They ended up being our favorite spots that we tried! The metro was a quick walk from the apartment so getting around was easy. The only downside to our trip was the heat (as the apartment is not air conditioned) but that was our fault for coming in mid July! Overall we had a great experience.
