Lucia’s place is just as lovely as the photos would have you believe! It is clear this is a space she thoughtfully curated to make a home, and it is a privilege to stay there! The location in Testaccio is ideal, and convenient to all of the gems this neighborhood has to offer. Don’t miss the Gelato shop on the corner with all homemade gelato and the liveliest lady who had been making ice cream for more than thirty years!
In this apartment, we especially appreciated the nice shower and plentiful hot water (a problem we had experienced in other apartments in Rome). The private patio is a nice touch, and I only wish we’d been here in warmer weather to enjoy it! It was also great having a washer and dishwasher. As we were traveling with our infant, we requested the use of a crib, and the loveliest crib was set up and ready to use upon our arrival.
Check in was easy and pleasant, and we were greeted by Elisabetta who also offered many suggestions for taking advantage of the best things in the neighborhood. As we had an extended stay (3 weeks) we had the cleaning and linen change intermittently, and the ladies who took care of that were very kind and professional.
We would recommend Lucia’s place and would happily visit again!
