My fiancée and I stayed at Giacomo's apartment for 5 nights and had a WONDERFUL stay! Giacomo himself checked us in. We had a little train delay and a luggage issue, but he was there to welcome us with a smile. The apartment is in a locked building, but open during the day with a doorman. Once you enter, there are just a few steps up to the elevator. We usually took the stairs during our stay, but the elevator was wonderful for luggage at check in and check out as the apartment is on the 3rd floor. We were given a map, and awesome suggestions for dining and shopping. Giacomo also booked us a driver to the airport in the morning so we didn't have to struggle with our broken luggage to the train station. Communication was very easy, with prompt replies before, during and even after our stay. He is a wonderful host!!! The space was clean and very comfortable. Never had an issue with hot water, and there are 2 new heat/A.C. units in the place; We were comfortable at all times. The terrace was clean and nice to have, even if the weather was chilly. The building is maybe a half block off a main street, but we never had an issue with noise, and I am a light sleeper. Bed was very comfortable, and unlike most places in Italy, it was one mattress and not two twin mattresses pushed together. Kitchen is comfortably furnished (not just one pot/pan and a spatula like some places) and I loved having both a moka and an electric kettle. There's even a little freezer, perfect for the half kg of gelato I got from the place across the street! There are bedside plugs, a safe, iron, and hair dryer; literally all the amenities of a hotel, with the comforts of home. Transportation: bus routes on the main street; Republica metro station is only a 5-7 minute walk up the hill, and the Main Termini 12 minutes away. We walked everywhere, but did take the metro to Vatican City. We would stay again in a heartbeat, and hope we have the opportunity to do so! Grazie mille!!!
