Gianluca's apartment was my very first experience with Airbnb. And I must say, I don't think it can get any better.
1) Location- walking distance to most major sites, close to bus and tram stops, and mostly quiet but with a lively bar and restaurant scene only a few blocks away. 2) Apartment- clean, plenty of space for two people, reliable wifi, and secure (the apartment is ground level, but the door and windows are reinforced). 3) Host- Gianluca is fantastic. His communication with me before and during my stay was awesome. There were several gifts awaiting me when I arrived and he reached out multiple times during my stay to see if there was anything I needed.
If you're going to be in Rome for 5 nights, I don't know why you'd stay anywhere else. Thanks Gianluca!
