This was a wonderful first experience with Airbnb. Giovanni was so generous in his time: waiting patiently when Rome airport was in chaos and delayed my arrival, giving great restaurant recommendations and directions, and genuinely wanting to help and ensure my stay was comfortable. The apartment itself was fantastic - the studio was perfect for my needs, and as for location... it was the best! Truly in the heart of Rome for living and sightseeing. The old apartment building was fabulous too. I really felt like a local while staying there, which was exactly what I wanted. One thing to note is that the shower has only a small hot water system, so if you need a longer shower (e.g. hair washing for women), you might need to do it in 2 shifts so it can warm up again! Once I realised this, I could work around it, and the small water heater was nothing compared to my pleasure at staying in such a great apartment and location, and for Giovanni's hospitality. I was very happy!
