Eracle and his apartment was an awesome experience our entire 4 night stay in Rome. My girlfriend and I wanted to spend part of our 3 month trip in Rome, and found Eracle's apartment to be perfect. It's literally around the corner from the metro that will take you to all the sites, and in a cute residential area of Rome where it is far less crowded and quiet.
As for the apartment itself, the other reviews are true. The pictures don't do the place justice. A truly beautiful minimalistic design and everything seemed brand new. THE BED IS VERY COMFY AND THE TOWELS SUPER SOFT :). Bed comfort is extremely important for my gf and Eracle's delivered. There's plenty of room to eat and for luggage, and a flatscreen strategically positioned to watch in bed or at the table. The bathroom was very nice as well. The kitchen is equipped with every essential we needed, and the supermarket was a 2 min walk away which made cooking very easy. The entire apartment was very clean and tidy when we arrived: Just don't expect anyone to know much English in this area as most of the people are Italians not tourists. For us this wasn't an issue at all.
As for Eracle, he was an excellent host. Although we didn't meet him in person as he was on holiday in Sicily, we felt his warm and welcoming presence through our various messages and phone calls. Eracle was very prompt and thorough in his responses, and more than willing to answer any questions we had anytime of day. He's the kind of guy you can tell how great of a host he is even just by messages.
Overall this was the best AirBnB experience I've had yet. I'd strongly recommend Eracle's place to anyone staying in Rome.
