Luca’s place (and neighborhood) is awesome. Just a 3 minute walk to the beach and plenty of clubs, restaurants, banks, cafes, mini markets, supermarkets, and other amenities all within reach, nearby, even an Irish pub, and a short walk even to Ostia’s center for more. The Stella Polare train station, more like a metro, is very close as well, and commuting to the city takes about an hour each way, but is very accessible and even practical actually, although we just went for dinner near the colosseum one evening out of the few we were here. With the exception of a few automobiles and some of the music from the beach clubs lightly being heard on the weekend nights, the area is really quiet, especially when compared to the hustle and bustle of Rome. The hosts were more than attentive and had great suggestions for everything. Highly recommend, 5 stars across the board. Thanks again Luca! Jacob&Rowan
