From the beginning, communication with Jacopo was excellent. He was responsive to all questions, and when we arrived in Rome, even met us at the train station to walk us to the apartment. His English is very good, and we appreciated him telling us about the area, pointing out the pharmacy, good restaurants, grocery stores, etc. on the walk to the building. When we got to the apartment, he was careful to walk us through and share details of how everything worked. One of the reasons we booked this place was because of it's location and the fact that it had air conditioning. We were not disappointed. The area has incredible restaurants, all within 5-12 minutes by foot. Some of the oldest trattorias in the city are in the neighbourhood. The air conditioning worked really well to escape the summer heat -- there was a separate unit in the living room/kitchen and the bedroom -- which made for a comfortable sleep too. As far as what was provided with the apartment, you have everything you need, including a full size fridge WITH freezer. The freezer was a bonus for us, as other places we stayed at in Europe had a small fridge with no freezer. There is plenty of cutlery, plates, bowls, etc. Internet was a good speed, the place had a full sized dining table and the bed was comfortable. If you do stay in Jacopo's apartment, which I would recommend, do try: - Da Bucatino (Famous for it's pasta and a 10-12 minute walk) - Gelataria La Romana (Been in operation since 1947 -- the BEST gelato I've had in Europe. I literally went everyday and don't regret it for a second. Note that the lines get quite long at night, so better to go in the day. If you do go at night, and the line is long, it is efficient, so you'll unlikely need to wait longer than 15-20 minutes. Well worth the wait. If you want, they will put chocolate inside the cone and whipped cream on top. Under 5 min walk.) - Ristorante Angelina a Testaccio (Food here was good. I had the gnocchi. The real stand-out here was the atmosphere on the terrace/roof. Beautifully lit with lights with trees overhanging. Worth it for the atmosphere alone, but be aware this is more trendy/hip than an old-school Roman atmosphere. 10-12 minute walk) - Pizzeria Ostiense (Cheap pizza. Decent house wine. Under 5 min walk. English menu available.) On our last day, we had to leave a bit earlier than check-out, and I forgot to message Jacopo 24 hours in advance. He was very understanding and agreed to meet us at 9:00am. On check-out Jacopo asked if there was anything he could've done to make the trip better. He truly is a great host. I forgot to mention when we arrived he said if there was anything we needed at any time of the day or night -- to contact him and he would be...
