My wife and I had a lovely time staying at Lucia's place as we made it our "base camp" for our European adventure to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Deborah, who contacted us on behalf of Lucia, was phenomenal to work with and she went out of her way to ensure we were able to communicate ahead of the visit. The neighborhood is very charming, full of life, and we enjoyed the ability to be truly in a Roman experience without the tourist portion. Agree with some that at first you aren't used to such a busy area (especially on the weekend) but that fades relatively quickly. The experience as a whole was very positive and would recommend.
