Luca's place is really wonderful and a perfect location when visiting the Vatican/Rome. Its a stone's throw away and you can see the Vatican out the door! It took about 5-10 min walking to get to the center of St Peters. Plus the location is prime for shopping, eating and tourist needs such as banks and SIM cards!
We arrived and Luca personally greeted us which was so nice. Prior to arriving he sent us exact instructions on the apt, food in the area, how to get tickets to see the Vatican and arranged for our taxi service from the airport to his home. That alone shows the type of personal hospitality he does. When the driver missed us at the airport he coordinated via phone the driver to find us. Plus the fact he came and greeted us around 1130 PM/ midnight was so nice and took the time to show us the apt.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. This apt is in prime location of the Vatican. It is next door to lots of food places and within the area there are tons of places open late at night. Around 1230 AM we ate pasta across the street as my boyfriend was hungry. Touristy shops are nearby to buy little gifts or rosaries. Also across the square is a station where you can grab a taxi anywhere which was really convenient.
The apt is really cute. Perfect for a couple. The bed is super comfy and there was even a washing machine. Being hosts ourselves, the prime hospitality of Luca and the location of this apt is why we really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend to others.
