CAUTION WHEN RENTING WITH THIS HOST!!! My partner and I reserved Daniele's "Trastevere Penthouse" early in November 2013, for a one week period, starting 25 Dec, thru 1 Jan, 2014. Unfortunately, a month after we made our reservation, we got an apologetic message from Daniele telling us that he must cancel our reservation, due to the fact that he wanted to give his apartment to a family member, for that same time period. I'm sure that anyone could understand, that this news came as great disappointment. As we were very excited to be spending the holidays in this cute apartment and realised that a major part of our holiday plans fell apart. In addition, this situation left us not much time to find another place in Rome. We did find another place quickly. However, considering that we were closer to the holidays, the selection of apartments available, for our dates, were much less to our liking. Sort of the dregs to be honest. In conclusion: beware, as nothing is for sure with Air B&B.
