Giacomo was good at communicating via airbnb and texts. We did not meet him upon our arrival, but were greeted by his friend Rita and her husband. Both were really nice welcoming people and gave us an tour of the apartment and provided wifi, check out info.

Pros: The space is exactly what you see on the images on airbnb. Place was perfectly clean and as described. The locations is great too. It's close enough to Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, but in a quiet enough neighborhood without all the traffic and pedestrian traffic to disturb your sleep and stay. Apartment is on the first floor of the building, so you do need to climb stairs, but not a lot. Really easy to walk to a lot of popular sites in Rome and close to 2 Metro train stations.

Cons: Wifi is definitely a hit or miss, more miss though. We had to constantly reset the wifi and had to contact Giacomo a few times, but all was fine. We were mainly using the wifi to figure out our plans for the day, so it wasn't absolutely necessary...just something to keep in mind (he states all this in his description too). Water heater for shower is also very low. My husband and I both took very quick showers to conserve the hot water, but no matter how quick the first person is, the second person always gets the short end of the stick and the hot water runs out very quickly. Not comfortable for our stay since it was pretty chilly weather when we visited Rome.
