Giovanni was a wonderful place to stay for my husband, daughter, and me. It was walkable to the archaeological museum and piazza del plebiscito, but we took taxis about half the time. It seemed that taxis cost about €6 no matter where we were. Yes, Corso Umberto is a very loud street, but we all slept well...It didn't really bother us. We used the stove and washing machine and the clothes drying rack. The salumeria downstairs supplied us with any food we needed and the owner was very nice and helpful. There are also many grocery stores across the main street and past Michele's.
