We loved our stay in Luca's apartment in Trastevere! There was so much room and space for our party of five adults.
We found the beds very comfortable, and with the windows closed it was quiet at night even with the busy street in front. We used the AC at night and it worked great too!
The little porch/terrace off the master bedroom was lovely and we enjoyed several mornings sitting out there having tea and pastries. The two large bathrooms were great and it was nice to have the tiny extra bathroom for a spare toilet (there is also a shower in that one but it was so small we found it impractical for most of us to use).
We were so thankful to Luca for setting up transport for our party both from and to the airport. The drivers were punctual and considerate. Giulia met us at the apartment when the driver dropped us off and was very helpful showing us everything and making sure we knew about lots of local sites. We also very much appreciated being able to check in early!
The kitchen had everything we needed, and the washer and dryer worked great. Luca was easily reachable when we had two small issues (Luca stopped by to repair a minor leak at the base of the small bathroom toilet, and advised us by text on where to find the breakers when we tripped the kitchen circuit by running the washer, dryer and microwave at the same time).
The WIFI worked great in the central living area, though it did not seem to reach the bedrooms.
The location was fantastic, allowing us to explore lovely Trastevere, and to walk to most of the major sites in 20-30 minutes. There was also a nearby taxi stand we took advantage of several times. There is also a major tram/bus line right along the street though we did not use that as often.
We appreciated the small convenience store right downstairs which had most of the essentials we needed (even almond milk!). There is also a larger grocery store a few blocks away.
We really enjoyed the gelato at nearby Fiore di Luna and slightly further away Fatamorgana, and being able to go to Ristorante Jaipur for a break from pasta when we needed it. We also enjoyed getting some cheap but tasty takeaway from Food Factory, and the croissants from Levain and vegan pastries at Caffe Trastevere.
The elevator was also very welcome, especially when arriving and departing with our luggage, as the apartment is on the fourth floor (US).
Thank you Luca for providing such a lovely place!
