The apartment was fine– nothing spectacular, but good enough to sleep in for a couple nights. It is literally located across the street from Palatine Hill, an excellent starting point to Ancient Rome. We never met Luca, but we were let into the building by a neighbor and a lady from upstairs came down to let us into the apartment. The only window leads to an indoor courtyard with a view of other apartment doors. If you're looking for place with scenery, this isn't it. If you require a bed and a clean bathroom, it works fine.

Our only real complaint was that the WiFi did not work of even show up, and there did not appear to be a modem/router anywhere.
