I booked my place 6+ months in advance, so there were a number to choose from. That said, I saw a lot of places that (even with nice pictures and decent reviews) appeared to be in a bit of disrepair. I think that's par for the course with AirBnB, however. No real way to ensure quality control.
I've done a lot of AirBnB in Italy and overall it's getting better. Rome seems to be the worst (I mostly stay in Trastevere too), the apartments tend to have more (minor) issues than other places eg issues with the boiler, leaking shower hose and iffy wifi in the last place. By contrast, Bologna, Modena and Milan were much better and cheaper. Turin/ Piedmont last month was ok too.
