Luca’s Airbnb is a no frills great place to crash in the heart of Trastevere. Located on the first floor, it was great not having to worry about carrying luggage up any stairs. The heating worked very well in late December. The kitchen was small but we could still cook good meals using it. The couch opens up into an additional bed which was nice. The host was kind enough to give us a free Pandoro cake upon our arrival. Despite being on a busy street, the Airbnb was quiet which was great.
The communication was so-so. We had asked to check-in early and got no response, 2nd time we asked the one word response ‘awesome’ which was vague but we assumed it was okay (great he accommodated the request). All other communication was done through Luca’s assistant on WhatsApp, when we asked host questions directly on Airbnb he did not respond just the WhatsApp assistant (make sure to ask for wifi password ahead of time). The bed was uncomfortable but it was pretty big. The shower was pretty bad, if you turned on flow all the way you get cold water and you can get luke-warm if you have light flow with temperature turned up all the way. The toilet flusher had condensation on it and sometimes had weird smells, but it wasn’t very bad.
Overall the place was cozy, in a great location, and had enough pros to be a great no-frills budget option for travelers looking to stay in Trastevere.
