We travelled from Rome termini by bus no. 714. Its about 30 min journey and then we walked for about 10 mins to reach the apartment. We were greeted Luca's friend. However she does not speak English at all and we tried our best to understand her by her hand gestures.
To reach the flat we need to climb 5 floors so we wont recommend it to people with lots of luggage. The interior is better than photos I think. From the picture it might look a bit dark and gloomy but it is very well lit during the day as the sun doesnt set until 9-10pm. The view is great by the balcony where you can see the sun set. The kitchen is so well equipped and Luca even left us a basket of ingredients like pasta and sauce as well as apricot jam and bread and some other cake and stuff. Super convenient especially if you check in late and nearby by shops are closed. The kitchen has not only got all the utensils but also basic ingredients like oil and salt etc.
The rooms are also very cozy and both rooms are equipped with aircon which is essential in July.
If you left the air con on in both rooms while cooking in the kitchen the power goes off and we flick the switch back on in the fuse box/power box so our tip is to avoid having so much electrical appliance on at the same time to prevent the power from going off.
The area isnt close to metro but has has quite a few bus stops nearby to serve the purpose. The closest supermarket is about 13 mins walk.
The only downside is there is no washing machine which might not be convenient for longer stays. But there are hanging lines by the balcony if you want to hand wash. Also there are spare blankets as well in the closet if you happen to visit in cooler seasons. Plenty of pillows and cushions to hug on as well!
My family and I totally enjoyed our 3 night stay at Luca's place.
