Our time in Rome consisted of a lot of running around and commuting in and out of the city but Luca's apartment was a relaxing and cozy home to retreat to each night. We found a free parking spot within reasonable walking distance to the car and we left it there for three days straight without any problems. The metro line is a few blocks up the road so as long as you double check the final train times at night you'll have an easy way home. Luca is a relaxed guy who made everything easy for us in Rome. I highly recommend his place.
