Luca is such a great host! He contacted us prior to our visit and provided a comprehensive email of logistics and recommendations in Rome. When we got to the apartment, Luca was already there waiting. He was so welcoming and gave us tips on what to do and see. You can really tell he loves his city and wants us to experience it like the locals. His enthusiasm for the city really set the tone and got us very excited to explore and experience it.
The apartment was very clean and had all amenities needed for a good stay. The location was great, with many local shops and restaurants within walking distance - some right around the corner! The apartment is also centrally located within the city and most of the main attractions were a 15-20 min walk away. The street just to the north is "Via del Governo Vecchio" and is lined with cute shops and cafes - perfect for exploring by day or a romantic walk at night. Note: you can hear the lively chatter of the locals and tourists throughout the day and night from the apartment - but we didn't mind at all - it's part of the city's charm!
There is a popular Gelateria right on the corner that all the locals go to (there's always a line). Make sure to check this out! The Buffeta pizza place next door is good, but don't expect great service.
Thank you Luca and Flora for an amazing stay!
