Giacomo is a super kind, friendly host. He was right there to meet us and gave us excellent directions on where to go and great tips on restaurants, sites to see, markets etc. The apartment in beautiful, spacious, big windows, lots of light. It is very tastefully appointed and luxurious. Very very nice. The building has a very old, unique elevator that I loved using, so fun and quaint. The location is great for getting on the metro to go see the sights, but then you can retreat to a neighborhood that is quiet and tourist free. Giacomo's recommendation for a restaurant was excellent, Osteria La Sol Fa, ask for Claudio, his english is terrific. If you are planning a stay in Rome, I would highly recommend this spot!
