Great place centrally located close to all the major sights one comes to Rome to see.
The apartment is on the top floor of a five story building with a bonus upper floor with 360 degree views of the city. Elevator makes the trip up easy. To the west you have a clear view of the dome of St Peters’s Basilica, to the north east the Spanish Steps. It’s in a controlled government zone so we always felt safe, even though Rome itself feels safe in any case. There’s a great little cafe right next door with very friendly and attentive staff and the prices are good. Next to that there’s a well equipped wine store and lots of little cafes and places to eat and explore nearby. If you’re so inclined the apartment had a full kitchen you can cook from and places nearby to buy groceries from.
As great as the place was, it’s only as good as its host, and Luca was fantastic. He greeted us upon arrival, showed us all the amenities, and gave some good recommendations when asked about places to eat, shop, etc, but what really made him stand out was his help in getting a bag we left in the cab returned, which only had a new iPad Pro and my wallet it in. Once I realized it was missing he called the cab company and we got it back in two hours. That alone was worth our stay.
We’d highly recommend Luca’s flat to future travelers and would stay there again.
