Armando was a great host. Very communicative and helpful. I'd recommend his place to anyone staying in Rome!

The the place was exactly as advertised, and it's in a very nice a safe-feeling neighborhood. Really an excellent location and apartment.

We met the housekeeper at the apartment to get the keys, and thankfully a few of our party spoke Spanish in order to ask a few questions (where is the grocery store, etc.), since she did not speak English and we didn't speak Italian. However, you can probably find most things you'd need with a short exploratory walk.

We did have a small problem with the toilet, but Armando was right on top of it and fixed it while we were out sightseeing at the Vatican. I didn't get the impression that that type of thing was normal.

Finally, beware the WiFi data limit! The four of us knew about the 100 Mb/day limit, and still managed to go over (+5 euros), likely due to automatic app updates. I'd recommend turning off app updates and auto-syncing before connecting to Armando's network.
