The location of Luca’s place is second to none. Trastevere gave us the most authentic experience possible in Rome. Like others have said, it is a lively area and can be loud at night on the weekends. However, I always sleep with earplugs anyway (and Luca provides some!), and it wasn’t so loud that earplugs couldn’t solve it. Luca was also a lovely host. He offers to arrange rides for you to and from the airport, and I highly recommend taking him up on that! It can be difficult for taxi drivers to get close to the apartment if they aren’t familiar with the area. Luca also gave us a list of personal recommendations and was quick to answer any questions we had. If you stay here, don’t neglect communicating with him! I didn’t start our conversations as early as I should have, and I definitely regret missing out on some of Luca’s suggestions because of that.
