What a great place! We loved the furniture (comfy beds!) and artwork. Luca's brother Paolo waited patiently for us outside the house after our flight was delayed and inside we were welcomed by a delicious cake baked by Luca's and Paolo's mum, which we enjoyed with a cup of espresso. The kitchen is fully equipped, but with all the great eateries in the vicinity we didn't get around to cook anything.
The location is great: some 20 minutes from Ostiense station (direct train from the airport), 15 minutes to Circo Massimo, lots of places to eat within 10-15 minutes walk, lots of buses and tram 3 takes you into town and back if your feet are too tired to walk. The walk up the Aventine Hill with its spectacular view was a great recommendation and we loved walking over to Trastevere with its cafes, bars, and restaurants. There is a great little wine bar/wine shop with just 2 small tables outside in via della scala 64 (VINI OLIO URSITTI BIAGIO, http://www.dabiagio.it/en/index.html) - try their local wines by the glass!
