Lucilla is wonderful. Check in was very convenient and she took time to provide valuable local tips about visiting the Vatican and Coliseum. She also arranged a taxi when we left, which was very helpful. Apartment is large and comfortable with a comfortable bed. A/C works but we did not need it. Bath has a nice new shower. Location is great for a first trip to Rome - mixed residential with convenient grocery store and restaurants and Lucilla will tell you where things are. There is no street noise, only voices of others in the building and you can only hear them when windows are open. Kitchen has a small fridge and 2 burner stove. Apartment is on the 2nd floor. There is a small elevator but the stairs are fine. There is a small balcony that overlooks other apartments below. A clothes washing machine is there but it is difficult to use. Lucilla is hoping to replace it with a modern one soon.
