Giacomo’s apartment is great. The location is wonderful even if not very central. It is far enough from touristic places for you to get a greater feel of how Rome lives today, and blend in with the locals. But still within walking distance from mostly anywhere - the heart of Trastevere with it’s bars and restaurants, the Vatican, and even the Capitolium. Plus, it is very close to a large gorgeous park and several villas.
The flat itself is tastefully minimalistic, clean, spacious and light.
The only downside was the check in and communication with Giacomo’s co-host Patrizia. We had to almost always talk to Giacomo, who lives abroad because the woman handling his apartment wasn’t there when we arrived. After being late and unresponsive or inadequate on messenger, she wasn’t nice to us, argued and refused to get some essentials such as toilet paper. One morning she tried to bring in a technician for some kitchen works while we were still there, which was completely inappropriate. Little things do matter, and affect the whole experience. Giacomo was very understanding and quick in resolving these situations, though.
