The apartment itself was nice. Plenty of room to move around, and having a washing machine available was nice. Lots of little things were provided to make the stay enjoyable.
However, I am removing two stars for the following: 1) after we checked out, Francesco accused us of damaging a desk. We had nothing to do with the damage on the desk. He needs to keep better track of the condition of his apartment so he's not accusing people of damage they did not commit. 2) He asked us to leave cash for the cleaning fee and city tax. Payments in cash are strictly prohibited by Airbnb. It felt shady. These two items combined made it feel like he was trying to scam us out of money. I would have given five stars if not for these two items. I would recommend staying clear of this place. There are plenty of other places to stay in Rome.
