We stayed at Giacomo's cute apartment for 6 days. It was truly a great experience. The location can't be beat. It is in the middle of everything, a few steps from Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. It is also close to the main shopping area on Via del Corso, especially the high-end stores like Armani, Tiffany, Bulgari etc. We walked almost everywhere, but the public transportation system is very convenient, the metro works really well. Giacomo greeted us at the apartment, he explained some of the things we needed to know, for example: how to make Italian coffee. He also showed us the key points on the map, including great restaurants and neighbourhoods to visit at night, as well as the more obvious historic and architectural gems to see. Giacomo arranged the transportation for us from and to the airport - it was ¢50, only ¢2 more than a taxi, but well worth it. Luigi was absolutely the greatest driver you can wish for. The apartment is quite small, but really clean and just enough for two people who came to visit Rome. We slept really well, you only have to remember to close the windows at night - it can get kind of noisy late in the evening and also early in the morning. After all, you are living the Italian life for those few days. The internet doesn't always work, early in the morning was usually the best.
Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely rented it again.
