I stayed at Luciana's during the hottest period of August and still had an amazing time in Rome. Good for solo female traveler. Open windows with a beautiful view (and a fan!) permitted good rest, and her place is close to local and express buses to city center or Vatican City. She was flexible and a fast responder when I had questions. And if you're tired of pizza, Luciana can recommend excellent Indian food nearby to eat on her beautiful rooftop terrace!
