My favorite thing about Luca's place was how clean it was! We were greeted by the cleaning lady and she gave us a tour of the place. I wished I spoke a little more Italian but we figured out the essentials with Google Translate! No problem at all.
Having a washer to to keep up on clean clothes was another wonderful perk. There is no dryer but there is a large rack that accommodates a 1-2 loads. We picked up some detergent and softener from the store and washed in the morning. When we came home from our day of adventure, the apartment smelled like clean laundry!
The location is great. It is just a block from the Metro and a short ride to all of the sights. The street has lots of places to eat and a little supermarket. It's close to a really excellent Pizza place called Bonci Pizzarium - so good. Also, you really can't get much closer to the Vatican. The tour we booked ended up meeting just a few blocks from away.
